From the One who loves you. (Read when you need it!)

(I wrote this a few years ago but think some people would benefit and enjoy reading it.) Dearheart, I love you so much. I hold my arms ever open to you. I offer you acceptance, hope, love, trust, joy, faith, patience, affection, warmth, and healing. Why do you turn from me? Why turn to another who offers all of this, yet fails on every account to come through for you? I am here whether you choose to acknowledge that fact of not. I am not going anywhere; I am staying by your side until I can walk you home. Where else can you see your total worth but through my eyes? For I see you as you were created. Full of joy, laughter, sunlight, patience, and a deep capacity to love those who seem to never deserve it. What poems could be inspired by the sun, rather than your smile's radiance? Could any other man love you while you were yet rebellious and unruly? And while you were yet unaware of me, I was composing symphonies in your name. There are so many ways in which I wish to show my love. Could a sunset's glory be enough to show you? Or perhaps the pounding of the ocean upon the mighty rocky bluffs of some secluded stoney island? Which bird's song could be played while tears storm down your fair face? The tropical breeze is my breath upon your smooth skin. Early snowflakes are my kisses upon your lashes. The sun upon your back is my massaging away your worries. Who else can hug your very soul? Who else knows the depth of your depressed spirit? Do not fear the future, for I am its author, and I am in it as I am in this present with you. It is no scarier than the past, which is over and done with, nor than the present, which is easy-going and slipping away so fast. I loved you back then, I love you now, I will love you still and forever. Remember all of this when this world picks your brain with doubts, and troubles your soft heart. It feeds upon the warmth, for it can only make things cold and dead. You are strong, though they see you as weak. They cannot see the great lion at your side, nor the outcome of the battle to insue. You win, just so you know. Read these words whenever you feel troubled, or jaded. This world isn't worth the tears, but you are. When you feel heavy with worry and stress. When you are tired beyond sleep. Those times will come, but they will not stay, and you will last through it! Sometimes, being strong doesn't mean coming out on top, but just making it through to be rebuild over again. I love you so much. I don't ever want to lose you. I can't bear to see you hurt. I want all of you. I will always be by your side. I love you. ~Jesus
