"A Letter from a Friend"
I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you.
Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I hoped
that soon you'd want Me to walk along with you, too. So, I
painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered a cool breeze to
refresh you. I waited...you never called...I just kept on loving
you.
As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted
so much to touch you. I spilled moonlight onto your
face-trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. You didn't
even think of me; I wanted so much to comfort you.
The
next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise into a glorious morning for
you. But you woke up late and rushed off to work-you didn't even
notice. My sky became cloudy and My tears were the rain.
I love you. Oh, if you'd only listen. I really love
you. I try to say it in the quiet of the green meadow and in the
blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and
spills it into the vibrant colors of the flowers. I shout it to
you in the thunder of the great waterfalls and compose love-songs for
bands 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 the ocean and greater than any need in
your heart. If you'd only realize how I care. I died just
for you.
My Dad sends His love. I want you to
meet Him. He cares, too. Fathers are just that way.
So please call Me soon. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait
because I love you.
Your Friend,
Jesus
