You may not know me, but I know everything about you

I know when you sit down and when you rise up

I am familiar with all your ways

Even the very hairs on your head are numbered

For you were made in my image

In me you live and move and have your being

For you are my offspring

I knew you even before you were conceived

I chose you when I planned creation

You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book

I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live

You are fearfully and wonderfully made

I knit you together in your mother's womb

And brought you forth on the day you were born

I have been misrepresented by those who don't know me

I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love

And it is my desire to lavish my love on you

Simply because you are my child and I am your father

I offer you more than your earthly father ever could

For I am the perfect father

Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand

For I am your provider and I meet all your needs

My plan for your future has always been filled with hope

Because I love you with an everlasting love

My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore

And I rejoice over you with singing

I will never stop doing good to you

For you are my treasured possession

I desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul

And I want to show you great and marvelous things

If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me

Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart

For it is I who gave you those desires

I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine

For I am your greatest encourager

I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles

When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you

As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart

One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes

And I'll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth

I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my son, Jesus

For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed

He is the exact representation of my being

He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you

And to tell you that I am not counting your sins

Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled

His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you

I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love

If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, you receive me

And nothing will ever separate you from my love again

Come home and I'll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen

I have always been Father, and will always be Father

My question is Will you be my child?

I am waiting for you

Love, Your Dad.
