Eternal Father, you have loved me forever.   This I know.    You loved me before you made me, and loved me when you formed me.     You rejoiced when I was born.    Cried for me when I was alone.   You held me up with the strength of you hand.    Your love sustained me when  no one would understand.   You introduced me to Jesus so that I would understand.    You blessed me with His Mother, that I may know love eternal.    Your Holy Spirit  gave me strength when my days were ever so long;  When everything and everyone seemed so wrong.   You dried my tears and told me, ‘it won’t be long’.   You rejoiced when I found love, and smiled when I gave life.   You turned not away when I fell; but picked me up, and loved me still.    You held me tight that I would know,  that you were there, no matter where I would go.    You loved me through my life……my relationships, my family, friends, and in my strife.   You allowed me to grow… patiently waiting that I would know.   I know My God,  I still doubt, when fear floods my soul.    I know this disappoints you LORD; I’ll try harder so you know.    I really do trust you LORD, it’s just I fear LORD when I know not where to go.     Once again I am certain,  though I see you not, that you have my hand in yours, and my battles you have fought.   I cry knowing I have disappointed you so.     But try I will LORD, for I love you so.   AMEN

Book of Revelation: Chapter 3 Verses 7-13  To Philadelphia.

7)”To the presiding spirit of the church in Philadelphia, write this:

“The holy ONE, the true, who wields David’s key, who opens and no one can close, who closes and no one can open, has this to say:

  8) “I know your deeds; that is why I have left an open door before you which no one can close.   I know that your strength is limited; yet you have held fast to my word and have not denied my name.   9) I mean to make some of Satan’s assembly, those self-styled Jews who are not really Jews but frauds, come and fall down at your feet; they will learn of my love for you in that way.   10)   Because you have kept my plea to stand fast, I will keep you safe in the time of trial which is coming on the whole world, to test all men on earth.   11)  I am coming soon.   Hold fast to what you have lest someone rob you of your crown.   12) ” I will make the victor  a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall never leave it, I  will inscribe on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God,  the new Jerusalem which he will send down from heaven, and my own name which is new.   13) “Let him who has ears heed the Spirit’s word to the churches!”
