A Love Letter from Jesus
Submitted by Dawn Ledeboer
Dear Friend,
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 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 -- 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 a 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 birds 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
WORTH

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200,
he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but
first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked,
"Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he
replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to
grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the
hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into
the dirt by the decisions we make and the
circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are
worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in
God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to
Him.
Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, "as the apple of His eye."
THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who
we are but by WHOSE WE ARE!
