Love Letters from Abba

"When you have truly accepted My love into your heart, you will love and value the you I've created."

"My beautiful, beloved child. There is no one like you. You are My masterpiece of love. I sculpted you in the most delicate way, with perfect touches, and your own unique character."

These are just a few of thousands of messages God gave Lisa Rickard, to reveal to the world through this devotional, "Love Letters from Abba." Lisa has used her intimacy with God to share something with all of God's people, which will inspire, enrich, and enliven them to seek His love in all their affairs, daily. Rich in His Word, Lisa has added Scripture verses which correlate beautifully with the theme of the daily message. Expressing faith like a child, in simple terms, this vast buffet of God's delights will leave you understanding your blessed value in God's universe. You will change for the better as you recognize yourself in these passages. And you will feel God speaking profoundly to your own heart. As you sample these pages all about love from "Abba," your Creator, King, and Friend, you will wonder how you ever lived without them.
