Last week I began sharing something my sister Jill had mailed to me, a follow up to a sermon series her church had.

It's titled "Father's Love Letter". Since it is lengthy, I decided to make it part of Karen's Korner in three installments.

Today's is #2. Enjoy, in case you feel unloved and unlovely today:

"My Child,

* I offer you more than your earthly father ever could.  (Matthew 7:11)
* For I am the perfect father  (Matthew 5:48)
* Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand  (James 1:17).
* For I am your provider and I meet all your needs.  (Matthew 6:31-33).
* My plan for your future has always been filled with hope  (Jeremiah 29:11).
* Because I love you with an everlasting love  (Jeremiah 31:3).
* My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore  (Psalm 138;17-18(.
* And I rejoice over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
* I will never stop doing good to you (Jeremiah 32:40).
* For you are my treasured  possession  (Exodus 19:5).
