A letter to my daughter

Amelia,
  I love you more than words could ever express and yet I know that I will fail you at times. I will try so hard not to, but I am human. I will disappoint you at times. But I want you, need you to know that there is a love that will never disappoint. That will never fail. That is not based on you. It is an unconditional, all forgiving love that took me many years to understand and accept. My prayer for you is that you know this love from an early age. Because my love, this world will disappoint you and hurt you. And it will never satisfy your heart. But God will. Days when you feel at your worst, He still loves you. Wants you. Desires you. When you feel you have failed, He sees a success. He sees the inner makings of you that have been perfectly crafted in His image. And He will draw you in without hesitation and wipe your tears. He will wash your feet and help you up. He will kiss you and love on you and give you strength in Him. We all feel like failures at times because that is what this world tells us. That we aren't good enough or pretty enough or smart enough. But my love, you are perfect on the scale that matters. You are a daughter of the King! So when you need strength, which will be daily, sit at His feet and drink from His cup. He will give you rest and renew your spirit. In Him you will find joy and hope. And by His grace you will conquer this world. But do it with love. Show others the grace He shows you. And remember that this world is full of sons and daughters of the almighty king. So love them as such. Treat them as such. And make it your hearts desire to see them walk in freedom with you. To know and love and worship the King! That is where you will find a joy like none other. That is where you will find purpose. That is what you were made for. The rest of this life is just for a short while. The hurts and pain are just temporary. Even your victories will fade away. But the joy you find in The Lord is forever. So don't keep it to yourself. Share the good news. Set your mind on eternal things. And have faith. Your Daddy, your King, your Savior is with you. And loves you, unconditionally.
