(this is the story of how much you are loved.)
My dearest Lucy,
A great aspiration of mine is to be like Lucy Pevensie, because she is both childlike and wise, a friend of the trees, and valiant. But most of all, she is completely in love with Aslan. Jesus. And you, my beautiful niece, have her name. I am praying that you will be like her too. I am praying that your heart always knows how deeply you are loved. I am praying that the knowledge of who you are roots deep into your heart and grows strong before you are tested. I am praying that you grow up knowing how beautiful you are, and remembering that you are because because you are loved, and everyone you meet is loved just as much. I am praying that you experience the unshakeable love of Jesus Christ from the day you are born, so that you will not be afraid to dance in church, stop in the middle of a busy sidewalk to gaze at the sky, or to laugh when it snows.
I have many hopes for you, but most of all I want you to know you are loved. I want you to know that your value comes from who you are, not what you do or who you know. I want you to know that no matter what you do, you will be loved the same.
Lucy, I already adore you, and you're not even breathing air yet. You are already lovely, because you are loved. You are already strong, because your Jesus is strong. You are already brave, because fear does not dictate you. You are already protected, because He took you out of the other place, and brought you to Korea.
Lucy Revolution, this world better look out! Your life story is already deliciously exciting. The world needs more girls like you, girls who know they are Loved.
So I pray that you do know you are loved by your family, and people who love your family, and most of all, the Creator of the universe. You got this, girl!
Love you,
Aunt P
