A Fathers Poem

I tend to write more just the facts of life here on my blog and not the heart stuff. This blog will be full of heart, very open and personal. My friend got this word in July and felt like it was meant for me. It is a letter from God  to me. 

"I love you my beautiful daughter. I love you because I love you because I love you because I love you. There is nothing you have ever done or can ever do that will make me love you less. Whenever you have felt sad I have been crying. When you have felt joy I have been dancing in the heavens. You are my daughter in whom I am well pleased. The plans I have for are going to be great, they are going to be wild, they are going to be full of me. Take peace for I know that thoughts that are in your head. I understand your wants and desires. Have no fear, love and trust in me. I am perfect love and perfect love drives out fear. Through me your shinning light can be. I love you my beautiful daughter, through thick and thin remember these words, I love you and you are beautiful." 

How beautiful is our God, his love is so great. This is the fathers heart for not only me but all his sons and daughters. 

It is an insane honour that God has called me here and now to staff. With that I have felt so completely inadequate to staff, not because it is true but because that is a lie Satan has been trying to get me to believe. To believe that my past is too much and I can't staff. It is an easy and basic tactic for Satan to use to bring us down. Jesus didn't come and die for me so that I could drag my past around with me though, he came to restore the beautiful relationship we once had in the Garden of Eden with our heavenly Father, to wash me clean, he came with grace unforced flowing over my life, with joy, with hope, with salvation, with life.

Micah 7:19 "You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea." God separates me from my sins and casts them into the depths, Satan tries to get me to sink with them. "I refuse to sink" I have that stamped on the inside one of my rings I always wear. I refuse to sink into my past, into the lies he tries to speak into my life. On the outside is an anchor, Hebrews 6:19 "We have this hope as an an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf." My life is anchored in heaven, in Gods inner sanctuary, in his throne room, not in the depths of the sea where there is no light and life. 

That said, I rocked up to a base without knowing any one and have been met with so much encouragement that I can staff and am able to; I have a whole community believing in me and cheering me on. Most importantly though I have my heavenly Father right here with me cheering me on, speaking words of life into me, holding me, never leaving me. The storms may come but my anchor is in heaven. I'm ready and excited for this season.
