Rise UP and Wise UP


Dear Child…

I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:3

Dear child,

Please know you are chosen. Please know you are loved. You are more precious to me than life itself. I will not ever reject you. There is nothing you can do that will separate my love from you. I see you in your most vibrant joy and into the deepest recesses of your sorrow. I give you space to fly and grow and choose, but I also hold you as close as the vine does to the branch to make sure you know that I am this close, always.

Sweet child, do you understand infinite and eternal love? Do you understand a love that would sacrifice everything to make sure you escape rejection? Do you understand a love that makes sure you experience nothing alone? Nothing. Do you understand a love that cannot protect you from pain and loss but will make sure that you are never alone? Never. Do you know that I spend every moment for your good and His glory?

Oh, child, do not fear. I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. I am with you, always. I will be your hands and feet when you can no longer reach and go. I will give you the strength to choose Me even when it is bleak and the unknown sits waiting in anticipation for you to fear but instead you choose love because love conquers all.

My child, you are mine. And I am yours. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Keep your eyes on me, dear child, always.

Love, Jesus

XOXO, Loni, humbled by the love of the Father, always

About Me

I have been on a journey with Christ through everything from relationships, to marriage and parenting, to teaching, writing, and speaking. I believe God is a God of detail and impeccable timing. I love developing beautiful relationships, watching God build His Kingdom, Jesus, and have a passion to see the church rise up and wise up in the love and service as the bride of Christ.
