My Dearest,

I'm sending you this very important letter by way of one of my younger ones (and heir to my throne, which I inherit from my Father). I just wanted to let you know how very much you still mean to me and how, greatly, I still want to have a lasting and enduring relationship with you, though you still reject me daily.

If my younger one told you I love you, don't believe him, just accept it. For your world don't have the exact word to qualify the STRONG PASSION I so have toward you. I CHERISH you so very much!

What man, who says he loves you, would allow a crown of thorn to be put on his head? (John 19:2); and be beaten with strips of blade because of you? Can he submit himself to be pierced? (Isa 53:5) and be nailed to the tree till he dies? (Acts 2:24), all that you might be set free from the bondage of the evil world you live in.

Can he allow himself to be accursed for all the wrongs you committed? (Gal 3:13-14). Can he bear all your sorrows so you might be happy in life? (Isa 53:4). Can he leave a very rich kingdom to become poor all because he wants you to be very rich? (IICor 8:9). Can he subject himself to rejection and banishment- though he did no wrong- so you might have a peaceful life? (Isa 53:5b).

My precious, how much more could I prove my strong PASSION toward you? I haven't gone through all of the above for the fun of it, neither do I still care about you because of them; Instead I went through those pains because, only because, of the great PASSION I have- and still have- for you. I don't want you to live your eternity in a place my Father hadn't prepared for wonderful persons like you. There's a better and more glorious place that's meant for you: "In my Father's house there are many rooms;… I'm going there to prepare a place for you… (John 14:2-3).

The other place of eternity is prepared for satan and all those who don't accept nor confess me, with their mouths, as the ‘LOVE’ of their lives (Rom 10:9). Let me tell you: HELL IS AS REAL AS YOU BELIEVE HEAVEN IS! You may not believe any of my brothers or sisters if they told you this. But believe me, if for nothing, for all I went through for you while on earth. At least if it were not so, I wouldn't have sacrificed myself in atonement for the sins that could have earned you a place in this place of eternal torment.

Let me also tell you, the gospel I brought into your world isn't a message of right or wrong, but that of LIFE and DEATH! And this kingdom where I come from- and want you to share with me- isn't a place where people would be kicked to get into; instead, it's a place where people will, by themselves, volunteer to get into.

So my beloved, what do you say to my present proposal? O yes, I know and do understand your past. My Father does not consult a man's past in order to favor his present or bless his tomorrow. And I follow my Father. I so much Love you, just the way you are! And this is not affected by what you've done in the past. I didn't die for your past neither did I, for your present. I died and suffered for your future- where you will spend your eternity!

I don't know if you've heard about the story of a prostitute named Rahab. Just because she identified herself with my Father's people, her future was changed for the best (Joshua 2). In fact, she later became one of my earthly great grand parents (Mat 1:5).

While on earth, I also met with a Samaritan woman who obviously was living like a prostitute (John 4:17-18). After accepting my salvation, her life changed and through her many Samaritans came into my Kingdom (John 4:28-29, 39-42). And this is the greatest thing a man can do for my Father.

Another adulterous woman was brought to me for condemnation, but I extended my arms of Love toward her and embraced her. This made her to live no more in her former way; she became my sister (John 8:4-11). What about Saul, who was always persecuting and killing my brothers because they were talking to people, like you, about me. After he had an encounter with me, he became my brother and in fact, the greatest apostle of my gospel during his time (Acts 9).

You see, I don't have to tell you of all my numerous brothers and sisters, who were once like you but are now enjoying a new life with me. While others rejected them, I embraced them. They were the reason I left my Kingdom to suffer on earth (Mat 18:11;15-24). Let me tell you, none of these my brothers & sisters deserve the great and peaceful life they now enjoy in me, nor a place in my Kingdom. No, they don’t! But for my Grace and Mercy which my death, on the cross of Calvary, brought the world.

That same Grace is available to you at about now! All you need know is that my Father and I are not looking for perfections but potentials. And I’m not mistaking the fact that you’re one of these people with great potentials for excellence. I directed this person to give this letter to you because I know- and see- that your heart longs for the touch of the Spirit of my Father’s, to change your life and make you one of His children.

How I wish I could do more than this for you. I just can’t! I can’t make the decision for you; you’ve got to do that yourself- for the power is within you. And my Father never gave me the power to interfere in men’s choices. He said to me that: “everything can be taken from man, but the power to choose how to live.”

But He has not denied me from letting you know the way to have an excellent and peaceful life forever: I AM THE ONLY WAY! (John 3:31-35). You know, the only way to have an exciting future is to have a hope today. And that HOPE is what I came to the world to give.

In conclusion, you see, it’s good if God, my Father, rebukes you; it’s even better if He punishes you; but to avoid His wrath is the best. And how can you avoid His wrath? It’s only by making sure that you accept me as the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE (John 3:36).

Always remember that I still Love you so very much- just the way you are.

Yours in Love,
JESUS CHRIST.
