A letter to us all:

DEAR...
I'm writing you this letter to remind you that I know you. I know the things that race through your mind. I made you and I made you just right. You may not believe this, but I love you just the way you are. There are times that you disappoint me and I love you even stronger in those moments because I know that is when you need me the most. I wish that you could see you the way that I see you. The things that you would call "flaws" I call "embellishments". I have given you a creative mind so that you can see the world in photographs. I have made you sensitive, very much so indeed, so that you can one day use that gift to help someone. You don't know who that is yet, but I do. I have given you a soft heart that is broken often and repaired just as often. You might not understand why I've done this, but one day you will. I've given you a little bit of wisdom that some people misinterpret. Remember, I am the one that sees your heart. I've allowed you to live safely, soundly and when you and him were finally ready, I allowed you to meet. I had been shaping your life to fit perfectly with his for years. I love you enough to realize that you will change. I gave you a free will and it's a beautiful thing to watch you use it. When you don't use it in the way I think you should, it saddens me. But the greatest love I feel is when you come back to me and again seek my way. There are things you think about that you shouldn't because I already have them worked out. I want you to know that. I don't always show you what I'm working on right away because sometimes you aren't ready to see it yet. You just need to trust that it's in my hands. Remember, I made you. I set the course for your life. I didn't create mountains that you can't cross. I didn't create oceans that you can't swim. And never have I or will I make a change in your life that isn't absolutely necessary. Sometimes you try to handle things on your own and it always makes me wonder why you choose the difficult way. I think if you could grasp how much I love you, you would always give me the reigns. When there is a bump in the road that you are about to trip upon, I send an angel to move it. When you are feeling low my heart is saddened because yours is. I know you need people so I send more angels and you call them your family and your friends. You can call them that because I know it's easier to understand that way. So remember my love, I know you. I know what makes you cry when no one else does and I know what brings you the most joy. I love you so much that I want to see you happy. But most of all, I want to see you grow and I will always do whatever it takes to help you in that journey. There will be times you won't understand because your heart will be burdened, but please remember that I made your life. I have your course set and it's ready for you. My hand is always outreached for you and my love will never go away.
Your Father,

God
