My sweet Melissa,
You are a gift. You are my gift to the world. I created you like no one else, uniquely designed to bless many, many people. When people meet you and get to know you, it’s like receiving a gift from me. As they unwrap this gift and truly see who you are, they also come to know me better. Your life is a reflection of love. When people see you, they see me, through me, they experience love.
Unwrapping a gift is an experience-one filled with excitement, joy, surprise, kindness, and the purest form of love. A gift costs something, but it’s freely given to the one who receives it. Just as I gave my son for you, offering the gift of salvation, I continue to give through my love.
Melissa, you have been a gift to many, and now, I want to give you a gift that will keep on giving-yourself. Like unwrapping a gift at Christmas, this time you’re unwrapping who you are. My gift to you is the revelation of who I’ve created you to be. And that will be your gift to the world.
Love, God
Just as God created me as a gift, remember that you, too, are a unique and precious gift to this world. As you journey through life, allow yourself to unwrap the beautiful purpose God has placed within you. Embrace who you are, knowing that through you, others can experience His love. Your life has meaning, and as you discover more of yourself, you’ll see how deeply you are meant to bless others.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10
