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, but 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 colours 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
