God Loves You and He Always Has

I'm writing this for Josh.

Josh, God Loves You and He Always Has. That's all you need to concentrate on, God Loves You and He Always Has. The words in the Mercy Me song, Beautiful, are a reminder of just how much.

The song was playing on my way home from work the other day and I began to think of you. I had an overwhelming feeling that you needed to know the message of the song. It is simply that you are a Beautiful child of God and that He Loves You and He Always Has.

I know you have been struggling for a long time in your very young life. You don't have to do it alone because God Loves You and He Always Has.  I'm repeating myself because it's important for you to know in your heart that it is true, God Loves You and He Always Has!!

REALLY!!

Remember the Whole Armor of God ( Ephesians 6:10-17), put it on every day. Be close to Him every day and He will guide and protect you, but you have to do the work. You have to ask for His help daily, it's not a one-time-deal.

Read the words from Psalm 139 [NASB], it's one of my favorites. Read it and you'll find out that He has loved you since before you were born.

13 For You formed my inward parts;

You wove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.

I pray for you every day, and your dear mother, too.

Please remember -- God Loves You and He Always Has.
