LETTER FROM JESUS

Dear friend,

How are you? I just had to send this letter to tell you how much I love you and care about you.

I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you would talk to me also. As evening drew near I gave you sunset to close your day, and I waited. You never came. Oh yes, it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night. I longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you.

You awakened late and rushed off for the day...my tears were in the rain.

Today you looked so sad, so alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me many times too, but I love you. I try to tell you in the whispered breeze of the leaves on the trees, breathe it in the colors of the flowers that perfume the air. I shout it in the splash and gurgle of the mountain streams, I hum it to you in the love songs I gave the birds to sing, and I draw it for you in the rainbow showers of a warm afternoon sunshine. My love for you is deeper than the depths, higher than the heavens, and wider than the largest want or need you could ever have.

We will spend eternity together in heaven, yet I know how hard it is on the earth. I really know (because I was there). I want to help you. My Father wants to help you too. He's that way, you know.

Just call me; ask me; talk to me. It's your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait...because I love you.

Your friend, Jesus
