God's Love letter to me

So I've been thinking a lot lately about God's love. To be frank and honest, sometimes I don't understand that he loves me. I understand from a theological, theoretical perspective, sort of, you know, God has to love us because yada, yada, yada... But feeling it, that's another thing. So I imagined exactly what it would like if God wrote me a love letter

Dearest Sarah Jo,

I have been absolutely fascinated with you since the day you were born. I waited and planned for you since the beginning of time. You don't see it now, but you were born at exactly the perfect time, for such a time as this, to give you the most fulfilling, abundant life possible. Darling child, you are so precious to me. I crafted you in secret, molded you down to the last freckle. I cheered when you took your first step, laughed when you made your first friend, and I cried with you when Draper broke your heart.

When you grew older and you were far from me, I never stopped calling for you, never stopped caring for, never stopped protecting you. Even when your back was towards me, when you pushed me away, when you spit on me, I loved you still. When you finally heard my call and came home, I came running to you when you were still a far way off. I know everything about you. I know the secrets you try to hide from your past, I know you way down deep. But guess what? Not only do I love you, I like you! I like you so much, I gave you eyes to see the sunset so I could woo you every evening

You are so passionate, I love that about you (I made that, for a reason, don't you know). You are such a delight to me. Not because you've done anything, not because you haven't done something, not because you're going to do something, but because I choose to. I AM, and that's just the way it is.

I know sometimes you feel like you're an embarrassment to me. But, the beauty of Calvary is, when I look at you, I see Jesus. I see who you really are, I see who I created you to be. One day you'll see it too. Untill that day, just trust me. Remember that things work out for YOUR good Sarah-bara. I AM with you always
With everlasting Love,
God
