Sweet, sweet Celia--
It seems like forever since I sat down and wrote to you. Time just seems to march on so quickly that I find that my days and weeks and months blur and, before I know it, the most important people get left behind. Not forgotten, mind you, but also not acknowledged in a way that helps them know they are special.
I want you to know that very thing today: You Are Special.
God chose to send you to Earth because He has a very special purpose for your life. I can't claim to know what He has in store for you, but as you grow older and learn to love Him, you'll have the opportunity to listen and learn from His wisdom. And, hopefully, some day, you'll figure out what He wants you to do.
When you do, you'll be amazed that He has equipped you to do the very things that He has in mind for you to accomplish. You may not have each and every skill within yourself at the time you feel called to do something for God, but He will give you the knowledge or the strength or send other people who will help you accomplish the task that has been laid before you.
God has that power, you know!
During this Christmas season, your first, I just wanted you to know how much God loves you and how much I love you, too. I want to prepare you for the love God has already sent your way and the love that you will feel from Him as you grow and mature.
Sometimes that love can be completely overwhelming. Sometimes you won't feel as though you deserve it. But, trust me, He is showering you with the very love that you are entitled to as one of His own.
I love you, sweet little one. I look forward to watching you grow even more and decide that your are God's Little Princess. And I pray for you to learn to love yourself and see yourself the way that God sees you: as His own, precious and perfect in His sight.
With blessings on this Christmas and always,
Your Godmother Jill
