To A Highly Esteemed Friend

My Very Dear Friend,


Oh, does not our God delight in you? For you have placed Him above the things you value. And yea, even above the things you esteem greatly. Therefore He has given you the oil of gladness above your companions. Moreover, has He not blessed you with a wisdom beyond your years? Indeed He has. For I have seen many who have been offered the same poison, the same intoxicating drink, and did nothing to resist, but gave in to what seemed pleasurable at the moment. But not you my very dear friend. For it has pleased our God to keep you from evil and your feet from stumbling. All your needs, He has satisfied, that you should not hunger nor thirst for anything else, and for anything less. Many have done well, but you my friend exceed them all.


A fruitful vine you are, a fruitful vine beside a well. Hold on to what you have and by all means, pause not. For to him who overcomes, our Lord will make a pillar in His House and he shall never leave it. Indeed.


Giving Glory to God for your life,
Your Friend
