Dear Daughter,

Steadfast.

Genesis 39:21

English Standard Version

²¹ But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

No matter where we are on life’s journey God’s love is forever with us. Because of God’s love we are favoured. No matter what we are going through if we keep our hearts right before God, He will move mountains. Do not look at where you are but at what God will work for your good. God will direct our path to get us where He needs us right on time, it may not be along the road we were expecting.

Steadfast-unwavering, unfaltering, resolute, persistent, committed.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Seek.

Matthew 6:33

The Passion Translation

³³ “So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.

This is great advice.  Compared to God’s kingdom everything else pales to nothing. With the love of God and His goodness chasing after us we have everything. God is not holding out on us, He is waiting for us to line up with His Words, His ways, to come into agreement with Him. Our God has taken care of every detail, do not give up, there is a time and a season.

Above all.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Flow.

1 John 4:16

The Passion Translation

¹⁶ We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. 

God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.

1 John 4:16

English Standard Version

¹⁶ So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

Love, we all desire to be loved by someone. God’s love is abundant and free. Love draws us closer, holds us tight and never lets us go. Love is not to be held in a reservoir but should be allowed to flow through us. The more love we give out the more love that we can receive.

Never stop loving.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Be love.

1 John 4:16

The Passion Translation

¹⁶ We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. 

God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.

Are we living in God then we are living in love, which means we are able to love others? It means that God’s love can show through us to others. It does not take much to show love, a kind word, a helping hand, a lift up or even just a smile. Why not brighten someone’s day today and just say hi, or text a friend to say thinking of you. 

We can grow our world.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Love.

1 Peter 3:8

The Passion Translation

⁸ Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly love one another.

Such a simple thing, love one another. When we look at someone through our own eyes, we see their imperfection and think no. But we should be looking with the eyes of Jesus. When Jesus looks at us, what does He see, He sees who we were created to be. If we choose to look at others through Jesus then we will start to see what Jesus sees and loving becomes easy.

Let us put some effort in and ask Jesus how do you see them?

Your loving sister Amanda.

26th March 2024

Dear Daughter,

The same.

Hebrews 13:8

English Standard Version

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Our God, the same yesterday today and forever. He never changes, His power never weakens, His love for us never fades. Our trust in Him will never be miss placed, our Jesus has never let us down and never will. Our Jesus is forever by our side. As my love for Jesus grows so does my trust and faith in Him. Never stop believing that He is for you.

Always and forever.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Radiant one.

Song of Songs 1:8

The Passion Translation

The Shepherd-King

⁸ Listen, my radiant one—
    if you ever lose sight of me,
    just follow in my footsteps where I lead my lovers.
    Come with your burdens and cares.
    Come to the place near the sanctuary of my shepherds.

We are radiant in the beauty of our King, let us not lose sight of Him. But if we do, He leaves us His footprints to follow right back into His arms. As we snuggle into His chest, we can release all our burdens and cares. We can rest in His arms because He is in control and knows His plans and purposes.

Our God, our Father, our King.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Listen.

Psalm 95:6-9

The Passion Translation

⁶ Come and kneel before this Creator-God;
    come and bow before the mighty God, our majestic maker!
^7–9 For we are those he cares for, and he is the God we worship.
    So drop everything else and listen to his voice!
    For this is what he’s saying:
    “Today, when I speak,
    don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to me
    like they did when they tested me at Meribah and Massah,
    the place where they argued with me, their Creator.
    Your ancestors challenged me over and over with their complaining,
    even though I had convinced them of my power and love.
    They still doubted my care for them.

Let us not doubt what our God will do for us. Our God is our healer, our strength, our deliverer. Our God cares for us, every little detail of our lives. Listen, no stop and listen, quiet and listen for the very beat of His heart. Love so incredible continually envelopes us as we walk with our Jesus.

Our majestic maker.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter, 

Hope.

Psalm 5:7

The Passion Translation

⁷ But I know that you will welcome me into your house,
    for I am covered by your covenant of mercy and love.
    So I come to your sanctuary with deepest awe
    to bow in worship and adore you.

1 Peter 1:3

English Standard Version

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

We are so blessed beyond measure. We have mercy without limit flowing to us from our Father. We have hope to take us into our future with confidence knowing that Jesus goes before us. We have been welcomed into the family of God. We have more brothers and sisters than we can count. We have the awesome opportunity to grow our family by telling others of a good God, a God full of love, mercy and grace.

We can give others hope.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Thoughts.

Psalm 139:23-24

English Standard Version

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    Try me and know my thoughts!
²⁴ And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting!

Isaiah 55:8

The Passion Translation

⁸ “For my thoughts about mercy are not like your thoughts,
    and my ways are different from yours.

If we ask, we can have our thoughts line up with God’s thoughts. It starts with the heart and becoming more like Jesus. As we give permission for God to do a work in us, we will be lead in His ways, into His abundance, into His provision, into our destiny. I want God to remove all that is not right with my heart and thoughts, I want Him to renew me, which is why I stay in The Word of God and in communication with my Jesus.

Lead me in the way everlasting.

Your loving sister Amanda.
