“And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.” Isaiah 32:17 NLT
My child,
There are so many uncertain things about this life you are living. There are seasons that can seem very mundane, yet changes are always happening. Your world is so fickle, always changing beliefs. Quick to build someone up and then quick to tear them down. Those inconsistencies experienced has hurt your confidence. Sometimes it makes you question the way you see yourself and the way you see me.
You need to know that I am not the author of everything that you have seen. Everything I create is Good, and that includes you. Confidence is a sureness about the truth of something. You can be sure about me. I am that truth. I am consistent. I am righteous. I bring peace. And I live in you.
Don’t focus on the fickleness of the world and what they think of you. You need to know deep in your heart what I think of you. I said my creation was very good. I meant what I said about you, and I’m the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Faithfully come to me, and my righteousness will shine through you. I am the lifter of your head. You will no longer be worried about the opinions of the world because you know my opinion of you. You can have confidence that the goodness inside of you is from me. My goodness brings peace. My goodness heals the trauma caused by this broken world. My goodness brings the ability to rest in the sureness. I remove the fear of not being enough because you were enough for my son to meet the cross. So head up high my child. You are radically loved and adored by the King of Kings, and I’m willing to prove it.
Love, your papa
