Dear Child: Letters From the One Who Knows You BestSample

Letter 2: You Are Fully Alive in Me
My Beloved Child,
Do you know what I see when I look at you? I see My own workmanship—crafted with care, created in Christ Jesus for good things I’ve already prepared for you (Ephesians 2:10). I see someone fully alive, raised with My Son, seated with Him in heavenly places, already secure in Me (Ephesians 2:6).
You are not what the world says you are. You are not defined by past failures, fleeting feelings, or fading accomplishments. You are a new creation. The old has gone, and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). You are alive, because I made you alive together with Christ, and I have forgiven you all your sins (Colossians 2:13).
I am not counting your sins against you (2 Corinthians 5:19). I’ve removed them completely, and My Spirit in you is proof that you are clean and close—forever Mine. My power works in your weakness. My Spirit is your strength (2 Corinthians 12:9; Romans 8:11).
You are joined to My Son. One spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17). You’ve been buried with Him, raised with Him, and now Christ is your very life (Colossians 3:4). You don’t need to hunger or thirst for more. I’ve given you everything you need for life and godliness (John 6:35; 2 Peter 1:3).
When the world feels heavy and you feel small, remember this: You are filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19). I’ve placed you in My kingdom, given you a new identity, and written your name in the Book of Life—never to be erased (Colossians 1:13; Revelation 3:5).
So stand tall in who you are. You are fully alive in Me.
With joy and love,
Your Father
