Love, Jesus

It is sometimes difficult to comprehend the reality of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because they seem so far away and out of reach. It can be hard to imagine them physically before us as magnificent and Almighty men. We sometimes wish for signs and evidence; however, if we just open our eyes a little wider we can be overwhelmed by the evidence that there is a God who loves us dearly and Jesus Christ truly lives to bless, love, and forgive us eternally.

Alma 30:44

44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of ^aall these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the ^bearth, and ^call things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its ^dmotion, yea, and also all the^eplanets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.

A Fellow Future Missionary on the missionary Facebook page posted this and I loved it:

Sister,

How are you? I just had to send you this letter to tell you how much I love you and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you should walk and talk with me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you. Then, I waited, but you never came. Oh yes, it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night and I longed to touch your brow, so I spilt moonlight upon your pillow and your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you.

You awakened late this morning and rushed off for the day. My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad, so alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me many times, but I love you. I try to tell you in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves and trees and breathe it in the color of the flowers. I shout it to you in the mountain stream and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air. My love for you is deeper than the oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need you could ever have.

We will spend eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on earth. I really know, because I was there and I want to help you. My Father wants to help you too. He's that way you know. Just call me, ask me and talk to me. It is your decision...I have chosen you and because of this I will wait...because I love you.

Your friend,
                Jesus
