Dear Beloved,

I am remaking you. I know this is a painful, confusing process, but it’s because you can only see the steps. You don’t see the outcome yet. When I look at you, I don’t see someone “under construction”. I see the end result, and it is so, so beautiful.

Here’s a glimpse of what that finished masterpiece will look like:

You will have hands that will never cease to give out forgiveness, mercy, compassion, and grace.

Your eyes will see the beauty in others, even on days when it is difficult. You will begin to see others as I see them and as I see you: Brilliant, beloved, creations of mine.

Your lips will speak the radical, amazing truth. So many are hurting right now because of the lies they have been told about the world, about themselves, and about me. Your words will bring them life.

You will have feet that run to the aid of those who are broken and in need. You will stand and fight for justice and for the opressed, but you will not grow weary from doing our work together, because I will strengthen you.

Your mind will dwell on pure, lovely, righteous thoughts. You will think of joy and beauty and love. Think above all on love, dear, because that is the best way to reach others.

Your heart will be hopeful, trusting, patient, and completely and totally given to the love of others. I will fill you with joy and peace.

All of these things take time, Beloved, and some areas need more work than others. Just hang on to me, because we’re not finished yet. But when we are, I promise,you’ll love the final product.

Yours eternally,
God
