Daughter, I am doing things differently than you might think.
This is the way I work, and it’s good. You can trust me.
I love you, and I give you good gifts. I am a good Father.
Just keep writing, and let the pen speak. I made you to hold the pen, to let it move as the Spirit wills, to speak and tell about me and my love in creative and beautiful ways.
Do you know that I laid everything out for you?
I chose your grandparents and your mother and father to help you know your place in my kingdom.
It’s not conventional, is it?
Who would have known that you were royalty?
You didn’t even know until you were older, but even before you knew, I knew.
I knew you would accomplish great things for me. I knew your potential and your skill. I gave them to you as gifts. I give them to you still, and I have more to give.
Yes, even more.
It’s just begun, child. Just trust me, and keep moving forward.
Moving forward may look different than you think, but you’ll know it’s me working. Don’t be afraid.
Give me that discomfort and dread and don’t take it back, child. Give it to me so it will be gone for good.
The world can do nothing to you when I am with you. And I am with you always, even until the end of the age.
Until then, enjoy days like this, and do not worry.
Write and think and contemplate with me. You know I love when we do.
I made you for this, child. Remember that I made you with a story to tell and write.
Now tell it, write it.
Let’s work together and produce a masterpiece.
See Deuteronomy 8:17-18; Psalm 138:8; Proverbs 16:9 and 19:21; Isaiah 55:8-9; Matthew 6:25, 6:34, 7:9-11, 11:28-30, 28:18, and 28:20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Ephesians 3:20; 1 Peter 2:7-9
These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.
