Dear you,
How I wish I could tell you these things in person. I long to translate the revelations God has given me in this last week to each of you. My heart aches in earnest desire to see you walk in the freedom God has granted me in these last few weeks. As I grow up, I realize that the struggles that seem so personal and unique to me, are widely faced by women all over the globe. The biggest mistake I could make is mask them and not share with you what God is revealing to me. That is what brings me to you today.
I want you to know how beautiful you are. You were created with grace and poise that even translates in the little moves you make. The way you sing in the car when you are alone, the way you secretly love romantic comedies (even when you claim to hate them), the way you would do anything to see the people you love laugh, everything about you is beautiful. Your smile is radiant and makes the people around you smile too. Your body is perfect. Every curvature of your skin makes you exactly who you are supposed to be. You were designed. Don't you understand? God designed you. And don't even get me started on your heart. You are kind, my dear. You are loving. You give people what they need at the perfect time that they need it. Your compassion is so necessary in this world. You are beautiful, inside and out.
For the fatherless, you need to know something. Every time you want to be held, run to Jesus. Do not hesitate to call Him 'Daddy'. His heart beats for you. Let Him be the one who kisses your boo-boos. Let Him be the one you celebrate accomplishments with. He has special plans for the fatherless. And His relationship with His daughters is an incredible one. Do not be afraid of God the Father. He is not like the father who left you, abused you, or hurt you. He does not make promises he can not keep. He does not love you based on your performance level. God the Father is nothing to fear. He is someone to love. He is perfect, yet in His perfection, He longs for his imperfect daughters.
On the subject of imperfection, dear one, you do not need to clean yourself up for Jesus. He cleans and disinfects. Stop trying to make yourself better, and let your Healer make you new. Stop running and stop trying. Wake up every morning with the goal to love God with everything you have for that day. I promise you the rest will fall into place. You are not perfect. Embrace it. If you were perfect, we never would have needed Jesus. Stop placing yourself on the cross, Jesus already conquered it. Your spiritual checklist does not determine your ability to worship God. Worship Him no matter where you are, no matter what you've done.
Ladies, we must take our eyes off of ourselves. Our sisters are hungry, desperate, and lonely. We have sisters who do not even know they can run to Jesus. We have sisters who are trapped. Think of the potential of this world if just every person who read this would stop trying to be perfect, and start loving every person they come into contact with. Think of the lives changed. Think of what is in the balance. Eternity is at stake.
For some of you, you are knee deep in the lies of Satan. He has you convinced that you are not enough. He has you convinced that you are broken beyond repair. He has you convinced that you need a man to tell you that you are worth something. Let me tell you right now, Satan is a liar. All he knows how to do is lie. Satan is incapable of telling the truth. Stop living your life based on a lie. Even as you read these things I am writing, you are refusing to believe that God's love applies to you. The truth is, you aren't enough. But Jesus is. And He makes you new. Be broken, but let Jesus love you back to health. You do need a man, and He coincidentally died so He could be the man that tells you you're beautiful.
I love you, dear one. I love you so much. I weep for you. I long for you to know the wholeness that comes when you believe everything I have written. I am praying for you. And I believe in you. I believe you will change this world. I believe the love that Christ fills you with will be recognizable from the first 'hello' from a stranger. You are never too far out of God's reach. So hold on tight because He is going to blow your mind.
With all of my love,
Karah Park
