love letter for Valentines day

Little one,
Have you any idea how much I love you?
On a day where the world wants to talk about love,
Let me share with you the greatest love you'll ever know.
My love is steadfast and my mercy is abundant.
Let me lavish these upon your weary soul.
You have been seeking identity so desperately,
Looking for the thing that brings worth and purpose to your life.
Listen darling,
I formed you; you are my servant,
O love, you will not be forgotten by me
I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like a mist, 
return to me for I have redeemed you. 
I am the Lord your redeemer. 
Come and take refuge it me,
I will cover you with the shadow of my wings.
All my delight is in you.
I know your idolatry, it is plain before me.
Your sin is as evident as ink on paper.
But I will wash you and you will be whiter than snow,
I will purge you with hyssop and you shall be clean.
There is nothing that can separate you from the promises I have made to you,
Promises that you will dwell with me forever.
That I will heal you.
That I will gather you with great compassion.
I have sworn that I will not be angry with you.
I will set your stones in antimony, O storm tossed one.
How can this be? you ask.
How can I abundantly pardon?
What is the way back to me?

I am the way. 
Jesus said.
If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 
I am the resurrection and the life.
I and the Father are one. 
My sheep hear my voice and I know them, 
I give them eternal life
and they will never perish,
and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
