Amabella: beautiful heart – princess of beauty

Adeliza: character – princess of character

Avalina: precious – precious princess

We named all of you your names on purpose.  Part of your name means beautiful, because you are beautiful to us and to God!  God created you just as you are on purpose. You have been created in the image of God.  And although God made you beautiful on the outside without question, true beauty is on the inside. Beauty is not from outward appearance, but your heart. You can put in clothes to look fancy, but you put on the Holy Spirit leading your life and he changes your heart and therein is true beauty.

Amabella, you are strong and I am so proud of you. You have had to endure many challenges already, and I see God making you strong. Don’t give up. YOU “can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” May God empower you through His Holy Spirit to give you strength to do all he calls you to do with confidence, boldness, peace, and perseverance.  God loves you so much and so do I.  You will have struggles, you will fall and make mistakes, but do not let the enemy keep you there.  God’s mercies are new every morning. His forgiveness is freely available all the time.  “In this world you will have trouble, but I have overcome the world.”. Walk now and always in his peace and his strength. ” Don’t worry about anything… And the peace of God…”

Adeliza, you have such a sensitive heart. Your feelings can get hurt easily, you notice the needs of others, and you are always first to help your Nana. I remember you seeing or hearing fire trucks and wanting to pray for them. Also, when Auntie Tiff’s friend was so sick and then passed away, you continually prayed for her and her family.  God made you be able to express how you feel and have compassion on others.  Allow the Holy Spirit to keep working in you and using you to be sensitive to him, honest about your own experiences, and compassionate about those God puts in your life. (Verse about compassion)

Avalina, God has made you someone whose sparkling eyes, contagious smile, and silly personality light up a room.  What a wonderful thing to be able to do.  May you allow the Holy Spirit work in you in such a way that you always seek to use that influence for good and encouragement to others.  I want you to always hold onto the truth that YOU are created in God’s image. 

As for your names, God gave them to us for you. So much of the meanings have shown to be so accurate.
