[Keesha Sullivan]

Whoever YOU are reading this blog right now, I want you to know. YOU ARE LOVED! :-) "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for [YOU, BELOVED because you] fear him" (Psalm 103:11). "As a father has compassion on His children, so the Lord has compassion on [YOU, because you] fear him" (Psalm 103:13). God created YOU to be loved by Him. He wanted YOU to know intimacy with your Father in heaven and to know that YOU are so, so special to Him.

Whoever YOU are reading this blog right now, I want to tell YOU that YOU aren't reading this by coincidence. God ordained this moment in time for YOU to read it, so that you would know "[God] created [YOUR] inmost being; [God] knit [YOU] together in [YOUR] mother's womb... [YOU are] fearfully and wonderfully made..." (Psalm 139:14). YOU were uniquely designed. There is no one else in this entire world that is quite like YOU.

From the moment YOU were born, God felt joy in knowing that YOU had come forth into the world. The same joy that a mother and father feel when looking at their baby for the first time can't even compare to the excitement that our Father in heaven felt when YOU were created. If I were a betting woman, I would bet that when YOU came forth that there was a celebration in heaven. The angels rejoiced and God smiled down on YOU.

God is with YOU. "But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with [YOU because you] fear him, and his righteousness with [YOUR[ children's children" (Psalm 103:17). There is nothing on this earth that can separate our Father's love from You. Romans 8:38-39 says, "neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate [YOU] from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

YOU can spend eternity with our Heavenly Father that loves YOU more than YOU can begin to fathom when YOU " 9 confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in [YOUR] heart that God raised him from the dead" (Romans 10:9).

Lord, thank You for loving us so much. Thank You for knitting each one of us together to be loved and cared for by You. Thank You that we can trust You with our hearts and our lives. Thank You that each one of us is special. Thank You for watching over us from the time that we were infants to now. We love You so much Father. Thank You for life. Thank You for Your love. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen.
