This letter changed my complete outlook on how God feels about me.
He sought me out and kept on seeking me out until I finally understood why he was so persistent. He loves me. And he loves all of you. I wish I could put into words how I feel when I think about the love that I feel when I think of all that God has done for me in the past 4 years. But I can't. Its overwhelming for me to think about how much God loves me. For the first time in my life I feel valuable, treasured and precious. I feel worthy of the good things that I have in my life because I understand that this is exactly the way God intended my life to be. Full of all the good, joyous and wonderful things that life has to offer. Some may look at my life and see it as boring but I see it as anything but. Because with Jesus in my life I have everything I need and so much more.

God Bless you all,
