One of our guided activities Saturday morning was to write a letter from the lover of our souls. Aka Jesus. Jasmine Tate, 23 year old Jesus-lover, collegiate basketball player, and gifted musician, played guitar in the background. (Check out her music here).
The following is what God said to me as my pen frantically scribbled across the blank page:
My dear Princess Warrior, my Beautiful Daughter,
I choose you. I do. My love for you extends far beyond your performance, appearance, service. What you offer the world is amazing, but that is not why I love you. I love you because I am love and I have purposely crafted you to accept my love. I made you to flourish in my love.
You are as delicate as the petal of a flower. As bold as a lioness protecting her cubs. You are as beautiful as the sunsets I paint across the horizon. You are skilled, a leader, talented, gifted, incredible, remarkable. I did this on purpose--for my purpose.
My sweet girl, please slow down. Take a breath. Listen to and see my creation. Take in everything around you, in which I have made. You strive so hard to be everything to everyone. Remember, I am their everything.You can never fulfill my role in their lives, so relax, beautiful girl. You are just enough. Not too much, not too little.
I delight in you. I want to bless you. Will you slow down, join me at the table, and let me love on you? Commune with me. I love you, baby girl.
Love,
Jesus
When we are still and quiet, we can hear the Holy Spirit speaking to us. Listen deep in your heart. What is God saying to you?
"Be still, and know that I am God..."
Psalm 46:10
May your week be blessed!
Live fully, love wholly, rejoice daily.
xoxo
