“My child, you are mine, and nothing can change that.
So calm your heart my dear one. Though you may feel distant from my arms, they are holding you. Do not worry,I will not grow weary, and my arms will never let you down.
Be still my child. Be still. I know tomorrow. No, I will not tell you what it brings, the cares of today are enough for you. But this will give you peace: there is nothing in tomorrow that you will not be able to handle, with me by your side.
Hold on to me little one. When this world tears you apart, throws you down, and leaves you all alone. Hold on, and remember. I have been there. I know all your troubles, and I feel all your pain.
Remember, you are special to me, my beloved. Look. I’ve created the beautiful expanse of the heavens. To show you my awesome power I have laid the sands of the sea, and I know their number. But know, my thoughts of you exceed this number.
I am here for you my child. Ask and you shall receive. I am so much more than you’ve ever imagined, I am greater still
than you will ever dream.
Because you are mine there is nothing that can come between us. Only put your trust in me, my dear, precious child, and I will do the rest.
I am all you’ll ever need… Jesus

Jared, I have been busy putting together a little, (well, not little) book of 29 years of marriage to your dad! Yes, July 12th 29 years ago…! a lot has happened as we began our journey together. And, as I was looking over ‘treasures’ through the years, I came upon your little book of poems called ‘Beginning collection’. I love them all, but today, I put this one down for us all to be blessed by. ‘God paints the morning sky with miracles in mind’ and God uses each of my kids with the most beautiful God-given gifts- even as beautiful as the ‘expanse of the heavens’- to show me… His awesome power! You are a huge blessing Jared to me and your dad and so many others, we love you, indeed!
