Mother

Mother,

 I have heard your prayers about letting your child go. Trust Me, you are not abandoning your child, as much as it feels like it. You are simply transferring your child's well being from your care to Mine.

 It was never my intentions for you to direct, guide or control your child's life. That is My role. In the beginning, yours was to love, protect and teach; and you have done just that. But this child was never yours to keep.

  To find peace, you must let this child go. Your stubborn self-will, will only get in way of the plans I have for this child.

  I know it was not you intention to interfere, but you are. You are not all wise and powerful. You cannot love your child to wellness, success or happiness. Only I can do that.

 You must trust that I care for your child's well-being. You must trust that I love this child more than your humanly love. My thoughts, My ways, My plans are bigger than you can comprehend or fathom. Life is so short; don't waste so much time in worry and fear.

 Yes, your child may make wrong choices and the results may be painful. That is not My intention, but it is your child's choice. He must learn to seek Me, and have a relationship with  Me. Only then can I work in his life. I will not force Myself on your child or on you. I want to be involved in your lives, but only to the degree that you let me. We both know what a struggle it has been for you to trust completely in Me.

 You cannot make it easier for your child to trust Me. This child must find his own way to me, in his own time and to the best of his ability. Let your child do that. Get out of the way. Love your child as My child, the way I love you. But let go, so this child can become the person I planned.

 We are in this together. You can come to Me anytime to tell Me your worries, concerns and hope. I will listen-I always have, though I may choose to be silent. That is My way of stretching you and helping you to grow.

 I know you love your child and I love you for that. But ultimately this is My child and I know what is best for this child-and you Entrust your child to me\Me and you will grow; you will find a new peace. You have so much in your own life to live for, therefore, focus on growing yourself and let Me worry about this child.

                       Loving you always

                         Your Father In Heaven

 PS, I do not know who sent this to me, I just came across this letter and wanted to share it with all of you, Please read it, reread it and read it again. I hope you get as much out of it that I did and do, love you all
