                     I Am Your Daddy God

Child of Mine, you can trust Me because I am your Daddy God and I 
love you. I know that there are times when you are afraid of Me.
There are times when you are wracked with guilt from your sin, and
you don't think I could really forgive you. But the blood of My Son
covers you, and makes you acceptable in My sight. While you know this
in your head, you don't always believe it down in your inner most
being, and that doubt makes Me seem scary to you. But even in the
midst of those times, and even in the midst of your doubts and 
struggles, I still love you. I never stop being your Heavenly
Father, and I never stop taking good care of you. The fact remains 
you can run to Me in your struggles and you can trust Me.

The enemy of your soul is working as hard as he can to try and keep
you from trusting Me, because he knows that once you learn to truly
trust, all of the resource of Heaven will be available to you and you
will do great damage to his kingdom. So he will use whatever lie or
falsehood he can to make it seem unsafe to trust Me. He will tell you 
that I don't really love you because of something you did, or because 
of something you failed to do. He will tell you that you have somehow 
disqualified yourself from My grace or from My love. He will do what 
he can to make you believe that I am angry with you and that I want to 
punish you. He will try to convince you that I don't care about your 
needs or that I am not willing to take care you.

All of those things are lies of the devil designed to try and keep you
from trusting Me. But he is a liar. I am truth and I am love, and I am 
faithful and trustworthy.  If you put your trust in Me, you will not
be disappointed.

Little one, I want you to learn just how trustworthy I really am. I want
you to know this so that you might put your trust in Me. But even if you 
continue to struggle in that area never learn to place your full trust 
and confidence in Me, I will still be your Daddy God and I will never 
stop loving you.
