One of Susan's favorite quotes is:"Love Letters Love Letter from A Friend I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you. Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends. I hoped that soon you'd want Me to walk along with you, too. So, I painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered a cool breeze to refresh you. I waited, you never called. I just kept on loving you. As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted so much to touch you. I spilled moonlight onto your face, trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. You didn't even thank of Me. I wanted so much to comfort you. The next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise into glorious morning for you. But you woke up late and rushed off to work, you didn't even notice. My ssky became cloudy and My tears were the rain. I love you. Oh, if you'd only listen. I really love you. I try to say it in the quiet of the green meadow and in the blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and spills it into the vibrant clors of all the flowers. I shout it to you in the thunder of the great waterfalls and compose love songs for birds to sing for you. I warm you with the clothing of My sunshine and perfume the air with nature's sweet scent. My love for you is deeper than any ocean and greater than any need in your heart. If you'd only realize how I care. My Dad sends His love. I want you to meet Him. He cares, too. Fathers are just that way. So, please call on Me soon. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait, because I love you. Your Friend, Jesus Truly Jesus does love us, and He wants us to express and show our love to Him. That's what my sisters of S.I.N.G. (Sisters in the Name of God) have done. They have shared their hearts and written love letters to Jesus. Take the time to read each one of them. They will be a blessing to you. Let's us not forget to show God's love and share it with one another. Remember, Jesus loves you and so do I. God bless! Dear Jesus, My life was so empty dear Jesus, until you stepped into my life. You know what kind of life that I had Jesus from the beginning to now. You knew that I was a child seeking love and affection, feeling so unloved. Because of the desperation seeking out this love, I was filled with hatred and bitterness toward the ones that couldn't and wouldn't show me love. This desire of being loved led me into a life of sin and choosing the wrong choices about love, ending up in more abusive relationships. I had accepted the sinful nature of drinking and having nowhere relationships with men that couldn't love me for me and always tried to control me in any way that they could. I felt so alon, that everyone left and had betrayed me probably the way you had felt Jesus, as you hung on that cross dying. But your heart was alive filled with that love for me that I had been so desparately seeking and I had been so blind to see. I wondered for sometime how you, Jesus, could love me when no one else could or would until my eyes were opened to this love. You gave me the strength, grace, and wisdom to remove any sin or weight that could prevent our close relationship. You have seen the many times that I have cried, pleaded, and prayed for someone to love and care for me. You have seen the times that I wanted to end it all and the times I tried. But, you Jesus, stepped in to save me. I thought that you had deserted me for not letting me die but now I know that you loved me enough to let me live and that you had died for me so that I could live. You covered me with your blood through the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension. Jesus, you have showed me how not to hate, to envy, or show any thpe of bitterness but to love them with the love of God in my heart. Because of you, you gave me the power to refuse to fear, doubt, and worry. You gave me the power over all of the enemy and that nothing can or will hurt me. Jesus, you helped me to bread the strongholds of Satan against my emotions because i gave all my emotions to you. Lord, I gave my will to You, Lord. You helped me bread down the strongholds of satan against my body when I gave my body to You. I bow down in worship and praise to you Jesus. you covered me with your blood and I clai the protection for my family, my home, my spirit, sloul and body. I surrendered myself in every area of my life to You, Jesus. Please let my heart continue to be open and your love continue to flow through me to others. Thank you Jesus for saving my life and loving me as no one had ever loved me. I wouldn't have me it without your love and forgiveness. Debbie West My precious precious Father, I want to take this opportunity to thank you, Jesus, for all that you have done for me. You protected me even before I knew you. I think back dear Lord on how I used to call it "luck" when I would wake up the morning after drinking and partying in the clubs and wonder how on earth I ever made it home safe. I apologize to the Lord, for not acknowledging that it was only by your grace! Thank you Jesus that when I got so drunk, I didn't know my name and I would bring strange men into my home, no harm ever came to me other that giving myself a bad reputation. Thank you Lord that others now look at me and see a change and know that I am not that drunk, crazy and sleeezy person that I once was. When I was molested, I was so angry at you, Jesus. I knew you existed, but I just did not know you were loving and merciful. I thought that you hated me. Thank you for letting me realize that all that happened to me in my past was ultimately to bring you glory. I thank you for my past as it gives me the chance to bring those suffering as I once did to you. I lay my past at your feet, Jesus, for you to use as you will. I only ask that you let me see those that are hurting and that you give me the words to say to them to ease their pain. I thank you for saving me, Jesus when no one else could. When my family turned their backs on me, you showed me so much love and you brought people into my life to encourage me and to love me. If all I have is you, then that is all right with me because you are my strength, my joy and my peace and you are so much more. Thank you for your forgiveness, your grace and your mercy. Thank you for my ministry. If it were not for you, I would be nothing. You died for me even though you knew I would spend years of my life denying you and grieving your heart and for that I can never thank you enough! I long for the day that I am able to sit at your feet, but for now I thank you for the words that you say to me and for guiding me along this life's journey. Thank you for letting me feel your presense even now! I love you Jesus and I place you above all else in my life. I desire to please you, Jesus more than I desire to do anything else! I am simply yours to use as you will! You are my everything! With all of my Love , Your child. Allison Dear Jesus, All my life I had searched for a sense of purpose for my very existance. I had tried to fill my life with physical pleasure and spiritual hokus pokus. My life had no meaning. no direction, No color. No You. I fell in and out of love, never even knowing what true love was. Then one day, you truned up in my life and I saw fore the very first time what true love really is. I saw you in someone else and I knew that you were the only one for me. How wonderful to be loved by you first. You loved be before I even knew you were real. How wonderful to be admired and longed for by you before I even knew that you were looking at me. How flattering it is to know that you think I am beautiful to behold when my mirror tells me differently. I tingle from the inside out with delight at the memory of our first meeting. You filled me with all the feeling that were missing in my life even though I didn't know they were missing until you put them there. You fill me from the top of my head to the tips of my toes with your love for me. And, when I think of the terrible ordeal that you went through for me, I feel so LO...Expand for more
