A Letter From Your King

My Precious Child,

You may not know everything about Me, but I know everything about you (Psalm 139:1). I know when you sit down and when you rise up (Psalm 139:2). I am familiar with your ways (Psalm 139:3). Even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Matt 10:29-31) for you were made in My image (Genesis 1:27). In Me you live and move and have your being (Acts 17:28) for you are My offspring (Acts 17:28).

I knew you even before you were conceived (Jeremiah 1:4-5). I chose you even before I planned creation (Ephesians 1:11-12). You were not a mistake; all your days are written in my book (Psalm 139:15-16). I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live (Acts 17:26). You were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). I knit you together in you mother's womb (Psalm 139:13) and brought you forth on the day you were born (Psalm 71:6).

I have been misrepresented by those who don't know Me (John 8:41-44). I am not distant and angry, but I am the complete expression of love (1 John 4:16), and it is my desire to lavish My love on you (1 John 3:1). I offer you more than your earthly father ever could (Matthew 7:11) for I am the Perfect Father (Matthew 5:48). Every good gift that you receive comes from My hand (James 1:17) for I am your provider, and I meet all your needs (Matthew 6:31-33).

My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. (Jeremiah 29:11). Because I love you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), My thoughts toward you are as countless as the sand on the seashore (Psalm 139:17-18) and I rejoice over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). I will never stop doing good to you (Jeremiah 32:40) for you are My treasured possession (Exodus 19:5). I desire to establish you with all My heart and all My soul (Jeremiah 32:41).

I want to show you great and marvelous things (Jeremiah 33:3). If you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me (Deuteronomy 4:29). Delight in Me, and I will give you the desires of you heart (Psalm 37:4) for it is I who gave you those desires (Philippians 2:13).

I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine (Ephesians 3:20) for I am your greatest encourager (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17). I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you (Psalm 34:18). As a Shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close you My heart (Isaiah 40:11).

One day, I will wipe away every tear from your eyes (Revelation 21:3-4) and I'll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth (Revelation 21:3-4). I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my Son, Jesus (John 17:26). He is the exact representation of My being (Hebrews 1:3). He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you (Romans 8:31) and to tell you that I am not counting your sins (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).

Jesus died so that you could be reconciled (2 Corinthians 5:18-19). His death was the ultimate expression of My love for you (1 John 4:10). I gave up everything I loved so that I might gain your love (Romans 8:31-32). When you received the gift of my Son, Jesus, you received Me (1 John 2:23), and nothing will ever separate you from My love again (Romans 8:38-39).

If you've strayed, come home, and I'll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen (Luke 15:7). From the moment you received Me, I have been your Father and I will, now, always be your Father (Ephesians 3:14-15).

My question is, if you are not one of Mine, will you be My child (John 1:1-13)? If you are, will you walk with Me always and keep My commands (Deuteronomy 11:22)? Regardless, I am waiting for you (Luke 15:11-32). I always have been!

Love,

Your Dad, Almighty God

It is better to Trust in the LORD than to Put Confidence in Man

FACEBOOK QUESTION CONCERNING AYN RAND:

  

Facebook Friend: Just making a general statement--if you want to comment feel free to do so. I read Ayn Rand years ago and then again a couple years ago. I remarked to another Christian that I thought she was right in many of her theories--as you may or may not know Rand was an atheist-------the other person said "How could you agree with an atheist?" My response was " whether Ayn Rand knew it or not, her intelligence came from God"--(Paul said, those that don't work, don't eat)--(this is not the exact quote)

The Princess Warrior: God is not the only source of knowledge; although He is the ultimate source of ALL knowledge…there is also Satan. He is in this world and was once with God. He is more intelligent than any human being that has ever walked the face of this earth. No human being can argue with him or trip him up and according to God’s Word he has the ability to plant thoughts into the human mind. It’s scary, but not all thoughts are our own.

BUT, God inspired holy men to pen His Words so we could have instruction while we live in this present world. The scriptures give us all we need. We can go to the Bible and find out everything we need to know about God. We can learn about His character. We can learn how He feels about things. We can read that He is holy and righteous.

Scripture gives us the ability to discern whether our thoughts are from God or Satan. It gives us the wisdom to handle any circumstance that life may throw at us. It teaches us what ‘not’ to do to save us a lot of heartache and trouble. It gives us the history of the earth so we would know our origin. But, most importantly, it shows us that this is not all there is…that there is a God who loves us, wants to be with us, and has made a way for that to happen. Not only that, He gives us the choice to both accept and love Him and to come under the umbrella of His protection or to do our own thing and make our own way while we’re here.

In regards to Ayn Rand, yes, I agree, her intelligence comes from God. I don’t have any knowledge of her beliefs, but I do know that many philosophers have been influenced, intellectually, by the writings of philosophers that came before them. Some are also influenced by parts of the Bible, but mostly in the sense that they think it a great literary work of art and not to be taken as an actual living letter from the God of this universe.

You know, I do like reading what other people think about things. It can sometimes give me a new insight into a particular subject, but people are not infallible. Only God is incapable of making a mistake. Even science changes and evolves. What was thought to be true 50 years ago may have changed several times as new discoveries came along. Only God has ALL knowledge and therefore changes not (I am the LORD, I change not. ~Malachi 3:6). Neither does His Word change (The Lord Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away. ~Matthew 24:35).

Even though I sometimes enjoy others writings, if it doesn’t line up with the Word of God I discard it as human error. I choose to put my trust solely in God’s infallible Word. It has stood the test of time. It has never, legitimately, been found to be wrong or in error. Its ideas do not need to change as new information comes to light because it’s wisdom's are superior. No philosopher catches God by surprise. Thousands of prophecies have been fulfilled (actually the only book with fulfilled prophecies) and many scientific facts were stated in the Bible before ‘man’ even had the knowledge to understand them.

So, I must end with this verse -- It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. ~Psalm 118:8

Thanks friend…I like answering questions that make me think. =)
