I, the Lord, your Father, have loved you, (your name), with a love that never ends; therefore, with My favor and merciful kindness I have taken the initiative and have drawn you to Myself. Jeremiah 31:3 Fear not, (your name), and dont let your hands sink down and dont be discouraged, for I AM with you in everything! I AM the Mighty One, the Savior Who Saves! I AM rejoicing over you with joy! I rest in the silent satisfaction of your being My child and in the love that I have for you. I will never make mention of your past sins or even recall them. I delight in you and rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:16-17 Dear Child, I made you alive when you were dead in your sins; those sins in which you, at one time, walked habitually. You were then destined for my wrath like the rest of mankind. But I, being rich in mercy and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love that I have for you, made you alive together in fellowship and in union with My Son Jesus, by giving you His very life. All because of My grace and mercy, which you did not deserve, you have been delivered from My righteous judgment. Not only have I made you alive to Me, (your name), but I have raised you up with Jesus and have seated you with Him in the heavenly sphere, by virtue of your being IN Christ Jesus. I did this for you to demonstrate clearly for all eternity the immeasurable, limitless, surpassing riches of My free grace, given to you out of the kindness and goodness of My heart. For it is by My free and gracious love that you have been delivered from judgment and made a partaker of My salvation in Christ, which you have received by faith. Always remember your salvation is not of your own doing; you did not obtain it by your own striving or performance, but it is a free gift from Me, your Heavenly Father. Ephesians 2:4-10
