A love letter

Dear Friend,

   How are you? I just had to send a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you.
 I saw you yesterday as you were talking 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 rest you--and I waited. You never came. Oh, yes, it hurts Me--but I still love you because I am your Friend.
            I saw you fall asleep last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awakened late and rushed off to work. 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.
             Oh, if you would only listen to Me. I love you! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breath it in the colors of flowers. I shout it to you in mountain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I cloth you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or need in your head. Oh, if you only knew how much I want to walk and talk with you. We could spend eternity together in heaven.
             I know how hard it is on this earth; I really know! And I want to help you. I want you to meet My Father. He wants to help you, too. My Father is that way, you know.
  Just call Me--ask Me--talk with Me! Oh please don't forget Me. I have so much to share with you!
           All right, I won't bother you any further. You are free to choose Me. It's your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait--because I love you!
                                                                        Your Friend,
                                                                         Jesus

Oh how sad..sad because of the depth of truth it contains. Yet beautiful, also because of the reality of our Savior's unconditional, extravagant love for us.
