                            You Are Loved

Do you know you are loved beyond measure? You could never disappoint Me,
child. I knew from the beginning of time the choices you would make and I
protected you. I sheltered you from true ruin and devastation. I can mend;
restore the broken places. I can fill the crevices. I can make your heart
stronger -- stronger than before. 

You've got what it takes. You are more than capable. Step up to your
destiny. Step out from the darkness of perceived incompetency. Step away
from the lies. Dwell in My truth. You are who I designed and destined you
to be. Success surrounds you. 

I will carry you on My shoulders. Look out across the rolling hills with
wheat blowing in the wind, gently swaying, flowing, making waves of rich
grain, golden from the sun. Can you hear the music? The song of heaven
carried on the breeze? They're playing our song -- can I have this dance?
Will you be My dance partner? Do you know how I have planned and hoped for
this moment in time? When you are Mine - all Mine, fully aware of My
presence within you. Confident that My tender love and mercies are enough.
You cannot fail for I am your Maker, your Creator, the Author and Finisher
of your life.
