A Letter From God
By: Regina Henry
(Taken from Ps. 139 and Gen. 28)

Dear One, there is nothing about you or your situation that I do not know. I am familiar with every detail, even the parts you cannot see or understand yourself. I know every thought that runs through your mind. I anticipate with a grin the things that will strike you funny, and laugh with you when no one else is around to share it. I know every hard memory, every accusing thought that brings you pain, and I understand fully why you cry, even when you can't put your finger on what's wrong. I see every detail that fills your days. I know when you get up and need strength, and when you lie down and need rest. Before a word is on your tongue, Dear One, I know not only what you will say, but where those words are coming from. I surround you completely; not to smother you, but to guard you, both from behind (the things you cannot see coming), and from in front (what you anticipate and are tempted to fear). I have laid My hand on your shoulder to reassure you that I am here.

I am the One who designed and planned you, both inside and out. If you could see it all completed, as I do, you would never wish to be anyone else. I watched over you while you were being formed in your mother's womb. I knew you then, before even your mother and father, and I know you now, better than anyone else ever will. Every day of your life, from beginning to end, was written in my book before one of them came to be. Nothing you face in this life will ever take me by surprise, or be able to derail my plans for your good. I say to you as I said to Jacob before you, "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go." And if you look for me, you will find me in every situation, and be able to say as he did, "Surely God is in this place, and I was not aware of it." Love of my heart, look at me. I know, and I am here.

Your God,
Jehovah Shammah
(which means, "The Lord Is There")
