A letter to my daughter.

If you ever wonder how much God loves you, just remember this..


I stare at you while you’re sleeping and try to count all of your beautiful long eyelashes
But God already knows the number of every hairs on your entire body

I lay awake thinking about my hopes and dreams for your life
But God already has them planned and is putting them into action

My heart jumps every time I hear you laugh or coo
And God is always listening in anticipation

My heart breaks when you’re hurt and crying
But God picks us up and carries us till we can walk again

As you lay asleep I watch your every breath and marvel at your perfection
But It is God that gives you that every breathe

You were an unexpected surprise, one I would not change for anything
But God knew you and loved you even before you were formed in my womb

I close my eyes and breathe in your baby scent
But it is God who can pick you out of a billion people with his eyes closed

When you throw a fit and kick and scream, I hold you tight anyway
Just as God does when we disobey him

When you feel sad because you have no daddy
You must know it is your Father that rocks you to sleep every night

When I cant be there to protect you, or comfort you, or hold you close
He is

I would do anything to keep you safe even if it meant sacrificing my life for yours
But He already has
