| Dear Friend, I
just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care about
you.
I saw you yesterday as you were walking and laughing
with your friends. I waited all day, hoping that soon you would
ask me to walk along with you too.
As evening drew near, I painted you a sunset to
close your day and whispered a cool breeze to refresh you, and I
waited patiently. You never called. Oh yes, I was hurt, but I just
kept on loving you.
As I watched you fall asleep last night, I longed
to reach out and touch you. I spilled moonlight upon your face,
trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. Again I waited,
but you didn’t think of me. I wanted so much to rush down
to you, so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you.
At dawn, I exploded a brilliant sunrise into the
glorious morning for you. But you woke up late and rushed off for
the day. You didn't even notice. My sky became cloudy and my tears
were the rain. Oh, how I love you.
Now you look so sad and so alone. It makes my heart
ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me many
times too. Oh, if you would only listen. I really LOVE you. I try
to say it in the quiet of the green meadow and in the vibrant blue
sky. The quiet wind whispers my love throughout the treetops and
spills into the vivid colours of all the flowers. I shout it to
you in the thunder of the great waterfalls, in mountain streams,
and I compose love songs for the little birds to sing for you.
I warm you with the clothing of my sunshine and
perfume the air with nature's sweet scent. My love for you is deeper
than any ocean and greater than any need in your heart. If you'd
only realize how much I really care. I died, just for you.
We will spend eternity together in Heaven. I know
how hard it is on earth. I know because I was once there. I really
want to help you.
My Father cares for you and wants to help you too.
I want you to meet him.
I have chosen you, so please, call on me soon. Call me, ask me,
talk to me. It’s your decision. No matter how long it takes,
I‘ll wait, because I love you and I always will.
Your friend,
Jesus
