God's Letter to Me:

Dear Trina,

How fast you have grown, My Child. You started out as a quiet and shy girl, but look at you now. You bear the confidence that I have placed in your heart.

I told you I have great plans for you... Far greater than you have or could ever imagine. 3 years are almost up, but my plans for you in service of me will never stop coming. I have set wonderful things for you, and I leave it to you to discover all of these.

Now, it's time to go - go out of your comfort zone, go beyond what you have learned to call your "home." It's time to go and be with my broken people... those broken in heart, mind, and spirit, broken in love, broken in hunger, broken in spite, and broken because they have not come to know me yet.

Don't be scared. I will provide for you. I will be with you at all times. I will put words into you mouth. I will guide you and tell you what to do. I have prepared you for this. I will give you what you need for my Grace if sufficient for you.

You can do all things through me who will strengthen you. I will fortify you. I will nourish you.

I will make your dreams come true.

Let go of those burdens, let go of those doubts and just TRUST. Have faith and look forward to the rainbow that awaits you after every storm.

Be brave my child for I assure you, your future is filled with sunny days and tremendous love. Challenges will surely come but I have equipped you to face and overcome them for I am always with you. I am your greatest defense.

Make no room for insecurities and worries because I see past those, I see what's in your heart. I hold your world in my hand and you are safe with me.

It's time to go back, to refocus. I have been waiting, you know. I missed you so much and I've always happily awaited your return.

I am Yours and You are Mine. That is how it is and will always be.

I love you and I seal this with a kiss and hug from heaven.

All yours,

Jesus
