Daughter,
Everything you do, everything you say, everything you think –
I know it, and still,
I love you.
I want you close, to come with me.
It’s no trick.
It’s not too good to be true.
It’s not burdensome.
You don’t have to work extra hard to know me,
To be with me.
You only need to believe in me, in my sovereignty.
You only need to remember how I’ve worked
For you.
Take a breath.
Look for me, and
You will find me.
Forgive yourself,
Think of the good,
Pray, and
Rest, my daughter.

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.
