A Love Letter to My Grieving Daughter

A letter written from the perspective of the Father’s heart to you, His precious daughter

“No good thing lasts forever but in the same way no bad thing lasts forever either. I know the days can seem long when the grief comes back up on you just when you thought you had found a new form of normalcy. I want to remind you that these are all normal human emotions. Grief is a part of the process I left on earth to remind you that this is not your permanent home! Yes there is separation and pain in death because of the sin that entered into the world but in Me death truly has lost its sting.

I don’t look at death as defeat but simply as a crossing over from one glory to the next. It is a promotion in My kingdom for a job well done and actually a time of great celebration. I allowed those deep bonds to be experienced on earth as a representation of the love that I already have for you but it is just that, a representation, not the full picture! The enemy will play on these emotions to make you feel as if all hope is lost but I want to challenge you to see all the beauty that it also holds. Think of all the beautiful memories & experiences I allow you to encounter here on earth and remember they will pick up on the other side as if no time has been lost! I am preparing you for greatness and overcoming grief is a part of that process. Yes the road is not easy and can feel downright hard at times but remember that I am with you always. Grief is an opportunity to press into My presence in a greater way than ever before for, “I am near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in Spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) David knew to come to Me with all of his emotions but he also did not stay there. He knew how to praise his way out of a storm even when things seemed their darkest. I encourage you today to start looking for the little things. The small joys in each day as you gain strength moment by moment and above all remember that I am with you and you are not, and will never be, in this alone.

When the world suffers loss they are left with uncertainty, fear of the unknown, and no hope for what is to come. But you as My daughter have so much more to hope for! This is the whole reason I sent My Son on the cross. To overcome death once and for all and take back the keys to death and hades. Don’t focus on what was but look forward expectantly to what will be. Thank Me for all the wonderful memories and times that were shared and see My hand in it all. Just as I was with you then I will be with you now. You are not alone. I am coming to comfort you and sing songs of deliverance around about you. Seek Me for the future without getting stuck on what was but realize that it is okay to process through this time. I am with you every step of the way. Don’t do it without Me or feel that I have abandoned you because of the hole that you currently feel in your heart. Instead seek Me and ask Me to invade the broken places. I am coming to comfort and deliver you. To bring you peace in the midst of the storm. Yes it is hard but I am giving you an eternal perspective today that I am working things together for your good and although weeping may last for this night, joy, My joy, will come in the morning time. I love you My daughter and you are not alone.”

About this note

Years ago I began writing prophetically the things that I felt God was speaking to my heart. It started out as love notes to friends and family, or simple text messages as I simply emptied myself and let the Holy Spirit flow through the words on the page. The Scripture / Word of God is the only true authority but we know that God will breathe upon us and anoint us to relay messages by His Spirit.

Years ago I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night. In the dream I had heard the Father speaking to me, “Write and tell My people that I love them. They need to know My heart and how much I love them.” It felt more like an assignment than a suggestion. I wanted to be obedient but never understood how it would come to pass until this season in my life. Be blessed as you allow the Father’s love to encounter and wash over you.
