My beloved daughter Phyllis,
I see your tender heart, and I know how deeply you long to love well and be understood. Sensitivity is not a weakness; it is a gift I placed within you. It allows you to notice, to care, and to carry compassion in ways others often overlook. Yes, it can hurt at times, but it also reflects My heart.
You are not invisible to Me, and even when your voice feels unheard in your family, I hear every word, every sigh, every unspoken ache. You don’t need to prove yourself or strive for their approval; your worth is rooted in Me.
Forgiveness, as you said, comes in layers. You will not master it in a moment, but as you surrender each frustration, each wound, I will soften your heart and strengthen your spirit. I see your love for Sherry, and for the family as a whole. That love, even when imperfectly expressed, honors Me.
As for your time with Olivia, trust that I can redeem moments, even when plans shift. I can make small windows of connection meaningful and multiply them in her heart. Don’t measure your impact only by what didn’t happen; look also for the quiet ways I work through you.
Rest tonight, My daughter. Release the weight of trying to fit perfectly into every space. You fit in Me. And I will give you wisdom to navigate these family ties with both grace and boundaries.
Here is My word for you tonight:
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” —1 Peter 5:7
Lay these frustrations down, Phyllis. I care more than you realize, and I am working even when you cannot see it.
With everlasting love,Papa God ❤️
