cool letter from God

Hello jr. highers!

I didn't know the title or author, but I finally just found a short story online that I remember my jr. high teacher Mrs. Swanson read to my class when I was your age (I went to a Christian school). I remember it moving my heart closer to God's.

Anyways, here it is. Hope it touches your life today like it did mine 13 years ago:)

Dear Friend,

How are you? I just had to send you a note to tell you how much I care about you.

I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk to me, too. I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you -- and I waited. You never came. It hurt me, but I will love you because I am your friend.

I saw you sleeping last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awoke and rushed off to work. My tears were the rain.

If you would only listen to me! I love you!

I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it in colors of flowers, shout it to you in mountain streams, give the birds love songs to sing. My love for you is deeper than the ocean, and bigger than the biggest need in your heart!

Ask me! Talk to me! Please don't forget me. I have so much to share with you!

I won't hassle you any further. It is your decision. I have chosen you and I will wait.



I love you. Your Friend,

God
