My Beloved Child and Friend,

I am so thankful for you. 

You are the apple of My eye, My chosen, My delight! When I look at you, I can’t help but smile really big. You look just like Me and I get such a kick out of watching you grow and learn and imitate Me. I am overjoyed every time you talk like Me and take a step of faith like Me and allow Me to work through you. 

But more than anything, I’m excited to be your Dad. 

I love the way you look to Me to direct your steps and ask Me my opinion on things. I love the way you devour My word and ask Me to explain things to you. Your childlike trust in Me brings Me great delight. When you latch onto one of My promises like a bulldog with a bone, I think to myself – “yep, that’s my child!”

My precious little lamb, my beautiful one, never forget that you are Mine or that  I am yours! 

Everything that I have belongs to you. It is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom. I delight in partnering with you to bring Heaven to Earth. Every prayer that you pray, trust that I am answering. Those things that you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them. See My victory in every situation and continue to call things that be not as though they were. Don’t fall for the enemy’s tricks. Don’t listen to him. Don’t think for one minute that I am not moving and brooding over the waters of your life and bringing My purposes to pass through your prayers.

In this season of thankfulness, My prayer for you is actually pretty simple. It’s that you will learn to rest even more in My goodness and favor. 

I have things in store for you that you can only receive when you know that you know that you are My favorite! Seriously. Your head resting on my heart is Heaven to Me. When you are listening to My heartbeat and feeling the breath of My Spirit upon your face, I’ve got you just where I want you. It’s here that I can share the mysteries of My kingdom with you and expose My heart in ways you’ve never seen.

I am just so blessed to be your Friend and Father! 

Indeed, I have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I chose you, and you said yes. My joy is complete.

Kisses from Heaven,

Your Papa
