A letter to myself.

If you were talking to someone else about what they had gone through, what would it sound like? How would you encourage them?

Side note: This is what AI came up with for the heading photo! Now cool is that?!

I think my letter would sound like this:

Hey girl! You know you're really hard on yourself with all the noise that is going on in the world. On one side, we have fire and brimstone; on the other side, you have worldly ambition, ideals, and wealth. On the other side, you have the love of Christ, his peace that surpasses all understanding. The joy of you discovering him through his word, and on the last side, you have you, your sinful nature that despises correction and hates righteousness. Your flesh would be more than happy to see you fail and fall back into worldly pursuits.

There's nothing wrong with a little fire that purifies God's correction, but more importantly, seek out and accept God's love. Uncover it with the truth and not just facts. Seek his face, because in it you will see a father's love.

I know you don't quite understand that word, but God has shown you that a father who corrects and directs is firm as well as nurturing. Remember that you are not valued based on your work alone. It is not your merit that earns you love, but it is in God, who knew you before he created you in your mother's womb. You were created from love, for God is love, and he knows the plans that he has for you to give you hope and a future. Drown out the noise. Keep your eyes on God, and he will let in the voices that will help you bring yourself closer to him. What matters in this life is Christ and the storied in your heart (the books, the movies, the plays, and the scripts) will reflect that.

All of it is a means to get people to look at God. As we embark on this quest called unconditional love, accept the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, your sickness, and your health until death, you will depart from this earth and hopefully receive everlasting life with Jesus Christ. So I hope you know that you are loved. You are worthy. Keep your eyes on him and him alone.

I love you too.

Troysha.
