I Know

My son,

I know that you are worried.

I know what causes you fear.

I know the thoughts that linger, that keep you awake at night.

I know that none of this makes sense.

I know you are thinking “What about me?”

I know that you have doubted me, wondering what I am doing.

I know how long you have been patient.

I know that you have been hurt.

I know that you want to do my will, and that you want to KNOW my will.

I know how in the past you tried so hard to run from me.

I know that you wanted to come back, but your pride kept getting in the way.

I know that there are times that you still struggle.

I know you doubt your own self-worth.

I know you just want a clear picture.

All of these things I know, my child…but these are not the only things I know…

I know that you are so very precious to me.

I know that I delight in you…more than you can ever imagine.

I know that when you ran from me, the pain I felt cut worse than the nails on the cross.

I know that when you finally returned to me, the celebration in the heavens was beyond human experience.

I know that it was I that protected you on that fateful August night.

I know that I kept you safe because I am not finished with you yet.

I know that I want nothing but the best for you.

I know that I have a GREAT plan for you.

I know that I need you to trust me.

I know when you need to know what I need you to know.

I know that my plans will be revealed to you when I know you are ready.

I know, My son, I know…

I know that above all else…I love you…forever.

Signed,

God
