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

To The Apple of My Eye

My dearest son,

Oh my son, my beloved son, the apple of my eye! Has not The Lord shown you the secret beauty of obedience, humility and submission? Indeed He has, for He delights in you, and it has pleased Him to anoint you with wisdom and love above your brothers.

Servant of the Most High, you are, under the leadership of, and supported by The Great Lion -The Lion of the Blessed Tribe of Judah. Following Him has made you a lion yourself. A roaring lion to your enemies and a gentle lamb to specific people.

Can I not call myself the most blessed man that people refer to me as your father? Yet, you and I have One Father. Hold on to what you have and by all means, stop not. For you will sit beside our Lord Himself if you choose to overcome.

I am most certainly, and in no doubt whatsoever, blessed to be your friend.

Lovingly yours,

Your father

A Letter to a Friend

My dear friend,

I know that ever since you were a child, you have been taught that determination is a virtue, a worthy thing to pursue. Your parents have repeatedly inculcated this in you through the stories they tell and the actions they show. However, my dear friend, there is a certain time when a person has to admit that what he or she is trying to attain cannot be attained; that what he or she is aspiring is not actually for him or her. There comes a time when the best option would be to give up. Or maybe, the better word to use would be - surrender. There comes a time when the best choice one can pick is to surrender. What I am trying to say here, my dear friend, is that, maybe, just maybe, you need to let go already. Yes, I know your efforts, I know of your sacrifices. I know how you have tried and how you have given it a shot. . .and a worthy shot it was. But in this letter, I ask you to reconsider.

Moreover, my dear friend, there are a lot of beautiful words in this world. However, each of these beautiful words is still not exempt from the power of time. They have their own time, place, and situation where and when they should be spoken. And furthermore - the certain specific person to which they should belong. By keeping this in mind, you will help every beautiful word fulfill the purpose of its existence. I take it that you get what I am trying to say.

Life is beautiful. God made it to be such. There are a lot of other options out there. I know you will find it. God has a better thing in store for you, one that would fit you, and fit you perfectly for that matter. I cannot give you what you seek, but God can. You are certainly, and with no doubt whatsoever, valued by me. God bless.

Very truly yours,

Your Friend
