Love Letter

All of you reading this may have read the title to this blog post, and you may be thinking, "Oh, man! Sapphira is going to talk about love and romance! Gag!" Well, I promise you that I won't for today. There's this popular poem that was written by some guy who's dead now, but left the world an awesome poem. It is a love letter sent to everyone from Jesus. It makes me feel like I'm special or actually mean something when I read this. I wanted to share this with all of you. Here it is:

How are you? I just had to send you 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 walk and talk with me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you. Then I waited, but you never came. O yes, it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your friend.

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

You awakened late this morning 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 but I love you. I try to tell you in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves and trees and breathe it in the colours of the flowers. I whisper it to you in the mountain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air. My love for you is deeper than the oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need you could ever have.

We will spend eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on earth. I really know because I was there and 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 is your decision ... I have chosen you and because of this I will wait ...Because I love you.

Your Friend,

Jesus

Now, how awesome and totally great did that sound? I have to say this is an amazing portrayal of just how much Jesus loves us. Be honest, how did you feel after you read that poem? It makes me want to rush out and praise God and pray like I never have before. That may sound hokey, but it's how I really feel. Anyway, I hope this blog post was worth your time reading. God is awesome, is'nt He? My answer is yes. Thanks for reading and drop by a comment!

God bless you!
