Dear Son

It's alright Ashley, my Son. I have loved you since I formed you, you are the works of my hands and you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Nothing you have done will ever make me love you less. For you are mine and I am yours.
Dear Son, let pride not get into your life for it separates you from me. A humble and contrite heart, that I do not despise. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek me face, and turn away from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will heal their land."
Dear Son, I have been faithful since the beginning of time and Ashley, love them as I have loved you, care for them as I have cared for you. Teach then as I have taught you, and cover them in prayer, for as dear as they are to you more so are they to me. All of them. Live your life rightly, not out of duty, not out of hypocrisy, but because of what I have done and who I am. I have paid the penalty of your sins on the cross, I have carried your iniquities, so why condemn yourself? Why weigh yourself down pursuing things not of me? Live your life of freedom, live your life victoriously for the victory has been won. Believe that and live it out.
Dear Son, remember your first love.
