I know that you are in great pain.  I can see you weeping, hear you crying, but you need not be afraid.  I am here, and I will comfort you.

You are hurting.  I can tell by the sound of your heart that it is breaking.  Come to Me so that I may fix it for you.

Come to Me, My child, when your soul is battered and bruised, and your heart needs rest, for I love you.  You do not know how much I love you!

 I love you more than the birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea.  I love you more than the beasts that walk upon the earth, for, behold, I love all that I have created, and if this is so, then I love you above all other things!  You are My child, and I love you!

I know that you feel broken, sometimes used, like an empty pitcher that once harbored a sweet drink.  Let Me fill you with My love.  Let Me fill you with My light, for I care deeply about everything that happens to you.

As how every parent feels about their little ones, so the same with Me: My child, you are the love of My life.  My love, My child, My little lamb, I adore you!  I felt your first heartbeat when you were yet in darkness, and could not speak.  I heard your first cries when you were born and I rejoiced, for a beautiful thing had occured: you came into My world!  Yes, I have heard everything, and I love you.

But now, you are in a time of trial, and you believe that I have forgotten you.  How could I forget you, when I spent so much time creating you, making you special and unique, just as you are?  I built you out of love and devotion, and you have a special purpose in this world.  You make it that much more beautiful to Me.  Why would I ever abandon My own creation?

You think that I do not love you, that I despise you, and no longer want you.  I now remind you!  I will now show you how much I love you by reminding you of the many blessing I have placed in your life, and by giving so much more!

You have devoted yourself to Me, My child.  You have made an unspoken oath that, no matter what path you take, you will never stray from Me.  Yes, I know that, sometimes, it is hard to keep that promise.  You have swerved, veered off, but have I not always brought you back to Me?  Held you in My arms?  Lain your head against My Heart?  Be silent, My little one.  Be still.  Listen to the sound of My heart beating.  It beats for you, oh child of Mine, for it is you that fills it with joy!

You are so special, and you do not even know it!  Know, My child, for I have set a very important task for you!

When your people betray you, and even when your own family turns on you, I will be there to raise you up.  How many times have I told you that I love you?  A thousand.  A million.  And I will tell you a million times more: I love you!  I adore you!

Come back to Me, My child, for My very heart aches when you are not here!  Let Me hold you, and shower you with praise.  Let Me bestow My many gifts upon you, for you are special, and are worth more than a thousand suns, a thousand worlds.  To Me, you are worth more than any wealth that could ever be counted, more precious than the finest gold.

You say that you are worthless and broken, that you are defective in some sort of way, and I know that some days, you wish you were never born!  Do not wish such a thing, My child!  It breaks My heart, just as it hurts Me when you hurt!  It hurts when you say that you don't belong with Me, but in Hell because you feel so worthless!  Don't you understand?  How could I love something worthless?  You are My most precious and prized possession!  How could I not love you?

There is a reason why I created you!  I made you in My own image!  Imagine what that says about you!  You are everything to Me, My child, if you would just go up to the mirror of My heart and see why!  Did I not give My only son so that you may live?  What does that say about you?  Look at how precious you are, My sweet, sweet child!  I cannot help but love you!

I made you to love you, to hold you, because you are a precious spirit, so full of light and wonder!  My diamond in the rough!  You are bright with light, and I can see it, even when your heart harbors sorrow and pain.  You cannot hide your light from Me, my child, no matter how hard you might try.  I cannot help but to love what I have created!

I smile when you are happy.  I mourn when you are sad.  But don't ever, ever say that I have regretted that I have brought you into this world, for I do not.  I have not abandoned you!  Oh, My love, I am right here where you need Me!  Just turn around and look!

I need you!  I created you, because you have meaning to Me.  I made you out of love because of that reason, for no other could ever take your place.

You have lost faith, stumbled, lost your way, and yet, you've never given up, because you know somehow, that I am here.  Keep that knowledge with you, My child, for it is your armor, your greatest strength.  Faith in Me protects you from all the wrong that has been done to you in your life.  Faith in Me raises you up when you are so low that you can no longer reach what you are looking for.  Faith in Me gives you light when, in your darkest and most desperate hour, you can no longer see.  And Faith in Me protects you from harm.

My child, My love of My life, come back to Me!  Rejoice!  I am right here, and I am waiting!

You say that you are hideous, but do not believe such venomous words!  They are nothing but lies, created to decieve you by the serpents of this world, made to harm the precious person that you are!  You are beautiful!

Believe in Me, My love, for, when I created you, even when you were yet to be born, you were the love of My life, and are still!  All My children are, and you shine among them most brightly!

Believe.  Have Faith!  I am here, and I will let no one harm you.  You will not find death in My embrace, but your own salvation, for that is why I am here.  That is why I have brought you to Me, for I love you, and I do not want to see you hurt.  Ever.

Believe in Me.  Have Faith in My love, for I do love you, My precious, precious child.  I will never abandon you.  I will shelter you.  I will bring light to you in the darkest of nights, and when you are uncertain, trust in Me, and I will make everything clear.  I will protect you from the dangers of this world, and I will guide you into the next.

Do not fear for what you do not have, for I will provide for you.  Yes, times are difficult for you now, and the dangers of slipping into the darkness are nipping at your heels.  I know this, for I am God, and I know that, for all the beauty in the world, it has its dangers.  Let Me light your way.  Let Me provide for you.  All you need do is look inside your heart, for there is where I dwell.

You say that you are lacking, that you are weak.  Yes, I know this, but you are not alone, and in those times, I will give you strength.  Without Me, you are weak, but with Me, you are strong!  Let it be known that, with Me by your side, you can accomplish anything.  No mountain is too high for you to climb, no ocean too wide, no desert too vast.  I am here to help you, to raise you so that you may fulfill your greatest dreams, take pride in your accomplishments.

I know how you hurt, for I feel it everyday.  I know how hard you struggle.  But, as I have bestowed gifts upon the world, so I bestow these gifts upon you: strength ... courage ... resolve.  Do not fear evil or dangers, for I am with you, and I will let nothing harm you.

Remember that you cannot hide from Me.  I am always there, thriving within you.  I am the blood in your veins.  I am the beat in your heart.  And I am the echo in your mind, in your very soul, that softly whispers to you, "Do not give up."

So many times, you have wept, saying that you are alone, but, even knowing your pain, your sorrow, your hurt, I have smiled because I know better.  I am here!  You are not alone!

I know that you are tired and weary, that your bones ache for reprieve.  Do not give up!  Hold on!  I am on My way, little one.  I am coming for you.  Rest.  I am here.  And I will always be right there beside you through your most difficult challenges and your greatest of accomplishments, for is that not what I have promised to do?  You pain is done, so be at ease.  Let this weight that you have set on your heart be lifted by My loving hands, and know that you will find rest in Me, peace in Me.

Yes, there will be trials in your life, but I am always at your side to guide you, if you would just believe in Me, and know that I am there.  If you do not believe in Me, how can you hear Me?  For I have loved you forever, and I will love you forever still.  I was ... am ... will be.  I am eternity, and I will always be here.  Rest in My arms, now, child, and sleep with the ease in knowing that I love you, even when it hurts, for you are My greatest of treasures, and nothing could equal to you!
