“God is love.” —1 John 4:8

I love you, My child! I truly enjoyed watching you the last few days as I catered to your broken heart by filling it with joy through My blessings of precious time with your favorite little man, and those you still love, at your favorite place! Despite the pain from your ongoing trial, truth is, I wish everyday could be like the last few for you. But you temporarily live in a fallen world where relationships are the main victim of the sinful nature of humanity. And for those who know Me as Savior, while the penalty of sin has been paid for, the power & earthly consequences of sin still remain. And broken relationships with others are often the consequence and are the most painful. This has been the source of your pain. You desire love and restoration; mirroring that of how our relationship was restored through Jesus. Grace & love, My child, Grace & love. My Grace in My Son, Jesus, is an expression of My love. I never stop offering these things to all people because I love all people. But only a few will truly receive Him. Those I call My children. But I still keep offering it as long as they have breath. My child, in similar fashion, keep offering your grace & love to those whom you desire restoration; knowing fully well that you may not receive what you hope for. See, I know you really well, My child. I made you! You offer your grace & love, while imperfectly, because you truly love—just as I do…of course, I love perfectly.  This is what fills my heart with joy about you. This is the source of your healing; to love others as I have loved you. Keep loving no matter what happens, okay? Life is short & temporary. And for you, My child, one day joy & love will fill your no-longer-broken-heart for all eternity in the best place ever! I love you!
