Dear friend,

I want to share how discovering God’s love has helped me heal from insecurity and unworthiness. I’m not here to force my beliefs on you, but if you are open to it, I’d love to share about God’s heart for you.

When I found myself in a dark depression that left me wanting to end my life, I realized I needed something bigger than myself to help me and I found that in a personal relationship with God. 

The note below is called the Father’s Love Letter — a collection of verses that reveals who God is, His plan for your life and His boundless love for you. I hope it encourages you. If you want to learn more about God and my story, you can read my book, Wonderfully Made.

Almighty God

How extravagantly loved you are by the God who wonderfully made you! 

If you want to understand this more what it means to give your life to God, keep reading…

You are deeply loved—more than you could ever imagine. The One who created the universe saw you, knew you, and chose to step into our world to show you just how much you mean to Him. That’s who Jesus is—God in human form, coming close so you could truly know Him.

Jesus wasn’t just a good teacher or a kind man. He was perfect, without sin (meaning he didn’t mess up), yet He willingly gave His life for you. Why? Because our mistakes, our brokenness, and the weight of this world separate us from the love we were made for. But Jesus took all of that on Himself when He died on the cross, making a way for you to be fully forgiven, completely free, and forever connected to God.

And the best part? He didn’t stay in the grave. He  defeated death, proving that nothing—not even our worst moments—can keep us from His love. When you believe in Him, you are made new, and you can walk in freedom, joy, and purpose—not just now, but for eternity.

That’s the Gospel, which means good news. God loves you and has made a way for you to be His forever. “For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son. So anyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

All you have to do is open your heart, say yes to His love, and let Him transform your life. He’s already waiting for you with open arms.

Use this prayer as a guide to surrender your life to Him:

 

Dear God,

Thank You for creating me, loving me, and coming to this world to save me.

I sometimes mess up or sin and go against the way You desire me to live. Forgive me and renew my heart and life with Your presence.

I believe in You. I give You my life. Thank You for saving me and calling me Your child.
