A Love Letter From God
My Love! (Song of Solomon 10:6),
I love you (Jn 15:9). I have called you by name (Is 43:1). You are mine.
Before I formed you, I knew you. And before you were born, I consecrated you (Jer 1:5). You did not choose me, I chose you (Jn 5:16).
Because you are precious to me and honoured, I love you (Is 43:4). I have loved you with an everlasting love, so I continue to show you my constant love (Jer 31:3). How can I abandon you? My love for you is too strong (Hos 11:8).
Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Yet, even should she forget; I will never forget you -- I can never forget you. See, I have written your name in the palms of my hand (Is 49:15-16). For I, the Lord your God, am holding you by the right hand (Is 41:13).
Do not be afraid, I have redeemed you (Is 43:1). I am with you (Is43:5). And be sure with this, I am with you always until the end of the world (Mt 28:20). Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in me (Jn 14:1). I will help you (Is 41:14). When you pass through troubled waters, I will be with you. Your trouble will not overwhelm you. The hard trials that come will not hurt you (Is 43:2).
Do not worry (Lk 12:9). Even the hairs of your head have been numbered, so there is no need to be afraid of anything (Mt 10:30). The mountains may depart, and the hills will be shaken, but my steadfast love for you will never end. Come my love (Song of Sol. 2:10). Come, I will lead you into solitude, and there, I will speak tenderly to your heart. I will be true and faithful. I will show you constant love, and make you mine forever. I will deepen my promise, and you will really know me than as never before (Hos 1:14, 19-20).
I am who I am (Ex 3:14).
I am the Lord, Your God (Hos 13:4).
The Faithful God (Hos 11:12).
