Dear Younger Me, 

If you have nothing else, you’re okay, because when you strip everything away, it’s just you and your Maker.  

If all your relationships were taken away, if your skills and talents were gone, if you had no job...it wouldn’t matter because you have enough in the presence of the One who holds you and loves you. It’s like a child who makes a project and carries it around because they love it and are proud of their creation. Also, think about the love your parents had for you even before you were born. As a manifestation of their love, they loved you though you had nothing to offer them.  

I also think that as a manifestation of your parents’ love, you are a manifestation of your Heavenly Father’s love. He wanted you and watched over you and purposed you, which makes simply you more important than anything else you could offer, or any other blessing He could offer you in this world.  

Hold to Isaiah 54:5, “For your Maker is your husband — the LORD Almighty is his name — the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.” 

You are a loved and valued child of the King, and the Maker loves you. 

Love, 

Megan
