Dear Friend, I just had to tell you how much I loved you and care for you. Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I'd 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--tricking 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 glorious morning for you. But you woke up late--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 green meadow and in the blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and spills into the vibrant color of all the flowers. I shout it to you in thunder of the great waterfalls and compose love songs for the birds to sing to 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 only you'd realize how I care. My Dad sends His love. I want you to meet Him--He cares, too. Fathers are just that way. So, please, call on me soon. No Matter how long it takes. I'll wait--because I love you. --Jesus |
