                      The Father's Heart  

Tell My children how much I love them!! So many don't come to Me so 
I can hold them close and pour My love out on them. Tell them I am 
good. Many know it in their minds, but they are still somewhat afraid
of Me--not with the appropriate "fear of the Lord" (reverence and a 
sense of awe), but apprehension. Many have had their concept of 
"father" damaged by earthly fathers, who have neglected, abused, 
abandoned, or hurt them in some way, so they hold back from Me, 
their Heavenly Father.

I AM NOT LIKE THAT!!

To My children, from My Heart: I am love. The highest image of human
love is but a slight reflection of My boundless, perfect love for you.
I sent My Son to pay the price for you to come close to Me, My 
children! The veil of the temple concealing the Holy of Holies was 
torn open, depicting My invitation. Come!! 

I will embrace you. I will restore your heart and soul. You can cry
on My shoulder. I will heal your hurts, your wounds, as I pour My 
great and endless love into you, My precious sons and daughters. I 
desire that you draw close to Me. Let Me show you your Father's love 
in a way that will make your heart melt. Jesus paid the price so that 
I could embrace you, My children. So come.

Come!!
