Dear Lowiee.

---

First I’ll start with the things I love about you.

I love how you’re so thoughtful. You try to be there for the people you care about. You always show up when seasons become difficult. You’re honest even when truth is uncomfortable.

I love how you carry yourself confidently, how you dress elegantly too.

I love how intentional you are about me.

I love that you’re funny, you make me laugh and cry, you always make me happy.

I love your smile, your teeth, the way your cheeks lift when you laugh

I love how ambitious you are.

I love how you love God.

I love that there’s never a dull moment with you. I can never be sad around you.

I love that you’re YOU.

It’s always easy for me to say I don’t have people, meanwhile God surrounded me with angels here on earth.

You’re the friend I have in Jesus.

The kind of comfort, peace, trust, safety and closeness I find in Jesus… I find that in you too.

With you, I don’t have to hide, home is where you are.

I have felt comfort arrive before I even found words for my ache.

With you, I have felt safe enough to unravel without shame.

You love me in the way heaven does. And I think that’s why your friendship feels sacred to me.

You make life feel lighter.

You’re one of the gentlest proofs that God sends good things to people.

God’s love resides where you are.

Just as you’ve always prayed for me. I’ll pray for you too. I’ll keep praying for you.

I pray that a soul would recognize yours beyond convenience.

My favorite picture of you.

I pray your heart is met with the same tenderness you pour into others naturally.

I pray you never lose the light that makes people feel less alone around you.

I pray God surrounds you with people who will never compete with your becoming. People who will see the hand of God on your life and rejoice instead of resent it.

May you never walk through this world unloved in silence.

May you never carry battles alone.

And may the people sent into your life recognize your worth before the world does.

I pray your heart never loses its softness.

That disappointment never hardens you.

That betrayal never teaches you cruelty. And that even after painful seasons, you still remain capable of loving deeply and sincerely.

May your life attract covenant people. The kind who stay, the kind who pray for you in private, defend you in rooms you are absent from, and remind you who you are when fear makes you forget.

And just as Jonathan strengthened David’s hand in God, I pray your friends strengthen your faith, your purpose, your joy, and your peace.

May your life never lack genuine love.

Never lack safe people.

Never lack divine companionship.

I pray that God’s Grace be ever sufficient, and that his mercy will always speak for you, that his light will continually shine, and that his glory will be seen in your life.

I pray God gives you strength to keep storing treasures in heaven.

I pray for divine alignment in everything you put your mind to do.

And may God preserve you with tenderness all your days.

And selfishly, I thank him for letting our paths meet at all.
