A PERSONAL LETTER

For the last two days we have been talking about faith. Today I want to share with you a personal letter. It is written to all of us from our Father. Take your time and read His word as He speaks to you.

My children do not forget my law, but let your heart keep My commandants, for the length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in My eyes and in mans.
Trust Me with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will direct your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear Me and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.
Honor Me with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
My child, do not despise the chastening I give you, nor detest My correction; for whom I love I correct, just as a father the son in whom he delights.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For in understanding and wisdom the proceeds are better then the profits of silver, the gain more than fine gold. It is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with it. Length of days is in it right hand, and in it’s left riches and honor. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace. It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, and happy are all who retain it.
By wisdom I founded the earth, by understanding I established the heavens. By My knowledge the depths were broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
My child, let them not depart from your eyes-keep sound wisdom and discretion: so they will be life to your soul and grace to your neck.
Then you will walk safely in your way, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; yes you will lie down and your sleep shall be sweet.
Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; for I will be your confidence, and will keep your feet from being caught.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so. Do not say no to your neighbor, go and come back, and tomorrow I will give it, when you have it with you. Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he dwells by you for safety’s sake. Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
Do not envy the oppressor, and choose none of his ways; for the perverse person is an abomination to Me, but My secret counsel is with the upright. The curse of Me is on the house of the wicked, but I bless the home of the just. Surely I scorn the scornful, but give grace to the humble. The wise inherit glory, but shame shall be the legacy of fools.
I love you My child, Your Father

This letter is found in Proverbs chapter 3. As I was reading it tonight the Lord laid it on my heart to read it as He was in fact speaking to me, and that is the way I have written it for you to read. It is truly a personal letter from our Father and it belongs to each of us. Thank you and God Bless
