                      You are My Own

  "You do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the 
   world."  -- John 15:19

I am your Father and I have given all I can give for you. I have been 
watching over you from the day you were born, to keep you and protect 
you. My heart is for you, to see you laugh, smile and be filled with 
joy. I have made you to be fulfilled. I have given you purpose and 
destiny. 

My plans are to work out that which I have purposed for your future, 
for I will use you as the vessel of My glory and the message of My 
heart. A dying generation is calling out for life--will you be My life
to them? I am waiting, to make you more than you are, to fulfill My 
purpose in you, to bring hope to the blind and salvation to the lost. I 
love you--you are My own."
