Lenora, Thanks for thinking about Me again. It was wonderful to hear that you're interested in Me after all these years. You know, I carefully made you inside your mother, and watched, fascinated, as you grew and grew before birth. I saw every time you flipped and turned and sucked your tiny thumb, and I watched as you got more cramped in there, growing and preparing for birth. And ever since you were born, I've been watching you, and I've seen everything you've been through. Now it's almost like you're preparing to be born, all over again. You've grown so much, changed so much over the years, but you're feeling cramped, and so here you are once again. Only this time, it could be a birth into a new spiritual world. I'm so excited for you. You know, I was there too, when your brother died. It hurt Me more than you, I think; he was one of My treasured creations too, and My heart ached to see what happened to him. I had such wonderful things for him to do. My heart ached, too, when you turned away from Me because of his death. I've known pain myself, you see. Back in Jerusalem all those years ago, I sent My Son to the Jews. They are My chosen people, but so hard-hearted, and they mistreated Him so. He lived as any other man, had hopes and dreams, friends, brothers, and parents, and did such wonderful things. And yet, just like your brother, He was killed by angry men, who didn't even know what they were really doing. The hardest thing for Me was to turn My face from Him, to see Him suffer and die without Me, knowing what awful pain He was feeling, and feeling the same pain Myself. But you know, even though I could have, I didn't stop Jesus' torture and death, because just like His life, they had a purpose. I sent Him, knowing what would happen to Him, because I loved you. All those years ago, I knew you'd be here, right now, waiting for some way to come back to Me. And I knew that because you're human, like all the rest of mankind, you could never do it by yourself, that you could never be perfect enough to stand face to face with Me, and I knew I had to do something for you. So I sent Jesus just for you. He had to suffer, and to die, because I am a Holy and Just God. My justice demanded a perfect sacrifice to cover your imperfections. Lenora, I made the way for you to come home. I paved that path with My only Son's blood. And ever since that day, He's been sitting here beside Me, pleading with Me for your redemption. I'm so excited you're looking My way again. Please, don't stop. I'd so love to hold you in My arms again, like when I created you, rocking you and cradling you in your mother's womb. I'd love to show you what I have in store for you, all the wonderful things I created you to do and to be. I'd love to show you the mansion I built for You in My Heavenly city. My Holy Spirit is waiting to guide you through your life, to comfort and direct you and give you strength and peace. The angels around My throne are holding their breath, waiting to see what you'll do. I'd love to welcome you into My family. But I'll never force you to do it. It's your choice, and your choice alone. Will you turn to Me? Will you trust Me? Will you accept the blood My Son spilled for you? Please know that any time you speak My name, I'm listening. I never stop listening. No matter how you call, or when, I'm waiting. I have many representatives around you, too; so many houses of worship, so many Christians; any of them would help you call My name. I'll be right here waiting. RSVP. Yours truly, God |
