God's whisper to the Fear of Abandonment

Dearest Daughter of Eve,

I will never leave you nor turn my back on you. You are mine. The waters will not overtake you. You will not drown. I am your life boat keeping you a float. The flames will not burn you. I am your shelter and protector. You are my treasure. I have pursued and ransomed you. I am your knight and your warrior.

Wherever you go, I am with you. I see you, because I am El Roi, the God who sees. I do not live in a distant land far from you. I am always available to you. I am before you (leading), behind you (protecting), and within. I am with you. Be with me.

I am forming you new. You are like my hand crafted jar of clay, my fingerprints are pressed upon you, and I fill you. You are a poem, a work of art, and I the Master Artist. The strokes of my brush bring brillint colors and light to the canvas of your life. Such beauty. Because of my love and delight, I initiated this work of redemption long, long ago. I carefully craft the thread of redemption all throughout your life. I am devoted to this work in you and through you. I take the debts and transform into assets. What you see as ash and dust, I use to create beauty. The desert places, I will turn to lush fields of flowers and life. Nothing is too much for me. You are not too much, nor too little.

When I created the world ... you were on my mind. I had thoughts about you. I had and have a plan for you. A perfect plan of lasting beauty and life. I intricately knit you together. You are wonderfully formed according to the purposes and dreams that I have for you! Your deepest longings, they call for me. I wrote them upon your heart.

My love for you is unshakeable and firm. Nothing can get in the way of my love for you. Nothing can separate my love from you. There is no wall, no veil, no choice, no wound, no habit ... nothing. Your name is written upon the palms of my hands. Like a mother with her nursing baby, even my body remembers you, your needs, your hunger. I dream for you. I delight in you. I sing over you. Are you listening?

When you stray I pursue you. When you turn from me, I pursue you. I wait for you to call my name and turn to me. I long to be compassionate to you. When you are desperate and want to return, I am ready to run to you.

Daughter of Eve, you are beautiful. You are a fragrant aroma of life. You are light. You are accepted. You are my Beloved. I love you.

Love, God your Father.
