My Child,
When I think thoughts of you it is not about the things you have not done, or the things you wish you had done or even the things you want or plan to do. My thoughts of you are of those things you have done through faith. Your work, your labor prompted by love and your endurance inspired by your hope in Me. I think of how you have become an imitator of Me; I see My reflection in you.
And
you have done this in spite of all your circumstances, your disappointments,
your past and the people in your life who hold you back. Every day you are becoming conformed to My
image; I see it and think on it. I see
how you have turned to the living and true God and let go of past ways and how
you wait for Me and My return. You have
welcomed My message and the joy given by the Holy Spirit. You My child are a model to other believers and
the message that I have written on your heart is clear. I praise our God and Father for you My child!

Thessalonians 1:1-2:1
Dear Jesus, I am
thankful that your thoughts of me are not the same thoughts I think about
me. I seem to remember and think about
all my failures, how I don’t measure up to your word or to other believers in
my life. Thank you for only thinking
good thoughts about me; for thinking of your work in my life and how your
message has changed me. I am humbled and
thankful, amen.
