Letters From Home

I got a letter in the mail today
From a faraway place, let’s just say.

It was addressed specifically to me.
I was very excited, don’t you see.

I opened it and, to my delight,
There written in black and white

A message from the God of grace
To tell me that He has prepared a place.

I’m sending you this letter from home
To remind you that you’re never alone.

Someday, you will look upon my face
And, in the Holy place, we will finally embrace.

I’m waiting patiently for that special day
When I can answer all that you’ve prayed.

Do not be afraid when your heart is heavy
From the burdens of life that are scary.

When you don’t know what to do
I will carry and will deliver you.

Keep looking towards the cross!
I sent down my perfect Son to save the lost.

I’m sending this letter right along
To tell you to continue to stay strong.

And someday, you will take my hand.
We will walk together along the crystal white sands.

My child, I promise it won’t be too long
When we will read all the letters from home.

~ Verse of The Day ~

“Ye are our epistle (letter) written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle (letter) of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.”
– ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬
