A Letter From Jesus

Dear Beloved Child,

I just had to send a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you. I saw you yesterday when you were walking on campus with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk with me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to refresh you. But you never came. It hurt me, but I still love you completely, because you are my friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night and I longed to touch your brow. So I spilled moonlight onto your pillow and your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so that we could talk. I have so many gifts for you. But you awakened late that next day and rushed off to class. My tears were in the rain.

Today you were so sad. You looked good on the outside, but felt so sad, so alone. It made my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me, remember? But I love you. Oh, if you would only listen to me. I really, really love you. I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass, and now in the snow. I whisper it in the leaves on trees and the colors of the autumn forests. My love for you is deeper that the oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need in your heart. If you only knew how much I want to help you. I want you to know my Father intimately. He wants to help you, too. My Father is that way, you know. Just call me, ask me, talk with me. I have so much to share with you.
But I won't hassle you. I'll wait because I love you.

Your friend,

Jesus
