Letter of Life

A Reluctant but Necessary Letter of Life for Many People

~~~---~~~---~~~---~~~---~~~---~~~

To the one who needs compassion and hope,

I am here with open arms.

To the one who hides the pain with joking, but hurts inside,

Let me show you my Creator.

To the one who wants to believe God's word, but isn't able,

See how He's changing my life.

To the one with unanswered questions and uncalmed fears,

Might I awaken you to God's healing.

To the one with broken promises, broken hearts, and empty souls,

Jesus's yoke is light and his burden is easy.

To the one with all the right answers and perfect responses, but who doesn't read beyond the lines,

Ask for peace.

To the one who desires to help, but without the capacity to do,

Just being available is the biggest help.

To the one with a deep desire for God and seeing things change here,

Do not neglect your Father's grace.

To the one with words beyond all measure,

Stop and Think.

To the one who already has an unfair advantage,

Press the brake and slide onto the back burner.
