The Love Letter is awesome. I sent the internet site to everyone on my email list. Ordered a DVD, and also ordered it in pamphlet form. I work at a Pregnancy Center, where we work with young, primarily single girls, giving pregnancy tests to confirm a positive or negative result. Many times in counseling these young women about their lifestyle choices, I have shared with them that the hole in their heart for love is for a father's love, and a boyfriend will never be able to fill that spot.
They are not aware that is the reason they are looking for love in all the wrong places. I have told them that hole can only be filled by a Father - and while their father may be out of their lives, they have a Father who will gladly, lovingly, fill the void. Tuesday of this week, the pamphlets arrived, and on Wednesday, the DVD arrived. Thursday we showed the DVD - Father's Love Letter - to three of our clients, and gave out several of the pamphlets.
One went to a young girl who has had three last names -and has never met her real dad. She is trying to find him, and when she saw the pamphlet title, she was asked for one. Tears were in her voice as we talked about our Father's Love Letter. My heartfelt thank you to a Father who fills the void, and for all that have made this DVD and these pamphlets possible. This weekend, the DVD is going to be shown to a Bible study group that are struggling with God's OT character. May God bless your work!

My father, my God of heaven, has been with me through my 53 years of life, but I had never understood him as my father like I did until my good friend and pastor sent me your “Father’s Love Letter” by email, to give me courage in the storm. The letter reminded me of an experience I had just a few years before that changed my life. I had been a Christian most of my life, but during Christmas one year when I went through my typical feelings of worthlessness and self-degradation, he came to me in a new way that changed my life.
I had been feeling worthless all day, even calling myself names of how much I hated myself, but that afternoon my Wife and I attended her family Christmas. As the food and festivities moved on, we all were together in the large family room with our children all around us. Her parents, Grandma and Grandpa sitting in easy chairs, lovingly listened and watched as each child traditionally came and brought their little parts at their feet. Each one had a poem, verse or song and we parents watched with pride and loving eyes at our children.
I took special note as my teen-age daughter sang with her cousins and my heart swelled at the song and the pride I felt as I heard her talent and noticed her youthful beauty. I felt tears of love overflow my heart as I reminisced in my mind of the good times and how much I cared for each one of my children. As my children performed and brought the message of baby Jesus I suddenly felt a presence beside me, and God spoke to me in his quiet spirit.
He simply said “I love you as my child even more than you do for your children”. I pondered that. Then he asked me about my feelings about myself, my worthlessness. And he told me how much he loved me and how he reminisced about the good times we had. Then he asked if I really wanted to be his child, and I replied boldly that I did. He said “climb into my lap and let me hold you”.
Don’t forget I was 43 at the time and it had been a long time since I had sat on my dad’s lap. I felt embarrassed and he encouraged me to climb into his lap in my mind’s eye. I did, and then he held me close and he asked me to hug him back, and I did. This all happened in just a few moments without anyone noticing what happened.
He whispered to me all the words that are printed on your “Fathers Love Letter”, and then he asked me to promise him one thing. He said “Since I Love you with an everlasting Love, from this moment on I give you no permission to think so evil and with such hatred about yourself”. I promised and have held that promise to this day 10 years later.
Today he is my Dad and this last 10 years he has been closer to me than ever before. I will never forget the day I sat on his lap and cuddled and hugged him for the first time in my life. Many times since then I climb onto his lap and I tell him all my stuff. He listens and we talk, while he holds me close. I printed your “Fathers Love Letter” in color and put it in a beautiful frame that sits on my office desk where I see it all the time, in remembrance of my Dad, the father that created me in my mother womb.
Thanks, with all my Love.

I have read this off and on over the years and just came across it again the spring. It has always been meaningful to me, but this time it nailed my heart and brought a much deeper and different meaning to me. The difference this time?....
...I had just lost my two twin identical girls at 5 month gestation. God knew them, formed them, had an intimate relationship with them before they were even an awareness in me and my husband's lives. He knew how many days of life they would have and when he would take them home. He knows the plans that he has for them...and those plans were not here on earth, but in heaven.
He also knows the plans that he has for our lives, he cares deeply for us, knows our pain in the loss of our girls and wipes our tears and heals our hearts.
God knows our pain because he has felt our pain when he was separated from Jesus in Jesus' death. The separation had to take place in order for our sins to be forgiven. God grieved the loss of his Son as well as the sin and rejection of the world.
God is so good. This just reminded me of how intimately involved he is in our lives and our hearts.
