For years now I have attended something that a church in my area puts on annually, called a Princess Tea Party. It is something that I wish my own church would take up doing. The main idea of the event is to teach young girls from the time they are little until they are on up in their teens as I am; that they are meaningful and their lives have a purpose from the almighty God.
He is our father and he loves us and wants us to treat our body as a temple and remain pure and love him. At this "tea party" is where i first heard the Fathers Love Letter. I will tell you listening to it and absorbing the words that are biblically factual was overwhelming at first.
I felt so Loved and I still years later will come back to this website and just listen again to His words, Thanking God for my relationship with him, and praising him for everything he has done in my life.

Thank you so much for creating this love letter.
I listen to it often and it makes me cry every single time.
I tell everyone I can to come listen.
I finally found the Father I've been looking for my entire life.

Firstly I would like to say Praise God for FLL and bless you for being His mighty tool in bringing FLL for others and for His glory.
I have used these FLL and often give them as a Christmas card to people i meet.
But i felt i would share what has happened this week.
I go to our local woods each day with my dog and have been seeking God on what tracts to take with me, as I searched today through my booklets i came across an FLL and felt that God wants me to use them as gifts to all the people i meet in the woods on my walks. So this morning in my prayers I asked God to confirm this is what He wanted me to take with me,as I needed confirmation that this was Jesus speaking to me and not me running ahead of Him. when I turned my computer on, i had in my in box the 365 Promises and it was Matthew 7:11 KJV 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? then your story.
I remember a time back in January 2001, where I felt the Lord encourage me to ask Him for His blessing on my life and the work of my hands. At the time, I was working on our fathersloveletter.com website which had a steady flow of 3,000 visits per day. After hearing His encouragement, I felt bold enough to ask God to increase the daily visits from 3,000 visits per day to 10,000 visits! I thought that was a pretty big step of faith considering that it represented more than a 300% increase. Within one week, our web traffic increased to 10,000 visits per day. Within another week, it had skyrocketed to 30,000 visits per day which was a 1,000% increase!
I am learning more and more every day that God wants to be a Father to me (2 Corinthians 6:18) in every area of my life. More than anything else, He wants my heart and He wants me to know that I am His child. A child who has complete unrestricted access to my Dad night and day. I know it pleases His heart most when I seek His face and not just His hand. He loves it when I love Him for Him, not for what He gives me. However, Jesus does encourage us to ask our Dad for what we need, for He already knows what we need even before we ask! May you find courage today to go boldly into your heavenly Father's throne room and ask Him for what you need.
what a good God we have and what a confirmation to me, bless your heart and may you continue to skyrocket for God each day. In Jesus love Lynne x

About one and half yrs. ago I went thru extensive inner healing for childhood rape and molestations. At the time I was an intercessor for a business and the owner and his wife helped me thru extensive hurt. I was shown the Father's love thru this godly man.
During that time I found this Love Letter and the part that touched my heart is the part that says he is the Father you have been looking for all my life. I hope to use this to heal the hurts of God's people. Thanks so much!!! During that time I cried it seem to be a million tears but God is faithful to mheal the broken hearts.

I grew up in a non-religious, "liberal-Christian" family, with two younger siblings and two parents. We usually went to church only once a year, on Christmas, but sometimes on Easter as well. I also vaguely remember going to a Sunday school camp once every while.
The result this had on me was minimal: I was a "Christian". An intellectual believer. In Romans 10:9-10, it says
“if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Now, I had never believed from my heart. I had never actually had confidence or trusted in Jesus, like how you trust your loved ones with money, or with responsibility. No, I believed in Jesus in my head. Never from my heart.
Let me tell you, I used to sin a lot. Sinning is breaking God’s law: when you do something that goes against who God is. For example, God cannot steal. For that reason, stealing is wrong. Even from a young age, I remember stealing.
However, God had a plan for me. At the age of 15, He eventually led me to question what I believed in intellectually. I asked myself if the God of the Bible was truly compatible with scientific truth. All of the questions I had, like “who made God?”, “is evolution real?”, “did God make the universe in 7 literal days?”, and many more were answered on a Christian website (godandscience.org) on the internet.
This website answered all of the questions I had. However, you aren’t saved based on knowing answers to some tricky questions: remember, Romans 10:9-10 says: “if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” I had yet to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Saviour. One day, I came across a video on the internet.
That was this video: "Father’s Love Letter”.
This video showed the very thing I was so desperately in need of: God’s love.
When I watched this video, I broke down and started to weep. I just broke down and sobbed from my heart. I was broken. Here, I could see God’s love, and I felt Him reaching out to me through His words. I felt the love of God pouring out through the words in this video, and I wept and sobbed because I knew I needed Him in my life. I was in such dire need of Him, and I knew it. I was empty, and I knew only He could fill me.
Then, I found a prayer on the internet: an invitation to God, one which asks God into your life. However, I hesitated - a voice in my head said: “you don’t have to do it right now. You’re not in the mood… do it later!”. But then another voice asked “Why not now? Why wait another second?”. So I fell to my knees and I prayed this prayer. I just knelt on my bedroom floor, and I was sobbing from my heart, and I asked God to come into me. I was sorry for all the people I had hurt, and everything I had done wrong, and I knew I was deserving of punishment. So I believed in Jesus from my heart, and I placed faith in Him.
And then the Holy Spirit came into me. The Holy Spirit is God, and when He came into me I felt just an indescribable wave of peace that flooded my body… it is a sensation of joy, of being made new, and just pure peace. The chaos, the instability, the weight of the world I had felt moments earlier was gone. It is something words can only attempt to describe. I was absolutely euphoric, and I rejoiced!
That happened in August 2010, and WOW, has God ever changed me since then. The peace of the Holy Spirit I felt then is still in me, constant, unwavering. He has released me from so many of my addictions since then. While they used to break me down every night, and I was a slave to feeding them, God has set me free. As John 8:31-36 says,
“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we will be set free?” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
While I once was a slave to sin, God has set me free. God is currently working in me, and He is teaching me to love and teach others about His kingdom and the glorious truth that Jesus came and died so we can be forgiven.
Praise God above, for He is truly mighty to save.

I had just finished praying on my knees for my son who is going through a lot right now. (Earlier in the day my cousin suggested I look up your website)So when I finished praying, I found your site and found that it was amazingly speaking to me! When I read the verse "I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles" and the several verses that follow, I broke down in tears because I know God hears me and my cries for help!! I am so grateful to you for allowing God to use you in this way! I'm starting a Women's Ministry at my church and our first meeting is this coming Friday and I will be sharing Father's Love Letter!
