>>> a note from your heavenly father

Beloved,

I am compassionate and merciful.  When you cross the lines of sin, I am patient with you. When you struggle against Me, I stay with you—guiding, convicting, and transforming you through My spirit.

I do not constantly criticize you, nor do I hold a grudge.

I do not punish you for your sins as you might deserve. In my mercy, I temper justice with peace.

Can you measure how high heaven is above the earth? My wide, loving, kind heart is greater than that. Especially for those who trust in me.

You see, I take all your sins and failures—and I remove them.  As far as the east is from the west, that’s how far I remove them from you.

A good earthly father expresses love for his children; it is no different with me, your heavenly Father;

I show my love and compassion to you.

For I know what you are made of; I know your frame is frail, and I remember that you came from dust. But you are mine, and I love you.

Psalm 103:8-13 inspired by the Voice version, written from the Lord’s perspective.
