Description

Three beautiful flower heads growing on the South African native bush, "Protea", create the subtle back ground that highlights a love letter from God to his children. Whether framed on canvas or printed as a greeting card, this piece of art is designed to encourage and uplift individuals going through times of sorrow and suffering.

The letter reads:

Dear Child,

While you sleep, I watch you toss and turn; wrestling with the thoughts overwhelming you. I know you are consumed with grief, fear, and doubt. I know you do not understand how I am able to bring good out of something so horrible but I can and I will. Why? I love you and I always keep my word.
My response to your torment is to remind you who I am. I am your helper and your strength; you can trust that “through my Son, you can do all things.” Not just some things, but ALL things. It saddens me to see you suffer and someday, I will show you how I have caught every tear staining your pillow and bathing your face. My deepest longing is to wipe away these tears that flow and to soothe your troubled mind, but while I long to help you, to be your strength, you too have the responsibility of calling out to me. So, instead of tossing and turning, roll over and cry out to me. Ask me for peace and rest. Ask me to soothe your troubled mind. Tell me how you feel … and then … wait. Yes … I know it’s hard to … wait … but if you … wait … I will reveal myself to you. You will be amazed! Trust me to show myself. Remember, as an earthly father longs to soothe their troubled child, I too long to soothe you. I will blanket your heart and mind with my hand of love. My child, seek me and you will find me. I will give you rest.

With all my love, into eternity,

Your Heavenly Father
