As I came to write this letter today, the Lord's heart burned so brightly inside of me. I felt the weight of your cries and prayers to the Lord and I heard you weeping for His love. You may not have heard His reply but I promise you if you are reading this that Jesus's heart melts for you and He is intensely mourning for the hurt you have gone through.

For although you endured them and these circumstances shaped you into the man or woman He needed you to be it was not easy for Him to see you go through this. But do not be saddened and do not grieve for you do not know how closely you follow in the footsteps of your savior for even as He had to suffer so do you. This is what qualifies us to represent Jesus. In fact, it was a promise that He gave us that when we fell in love with Him the world would ridicule us and reject us because they rejected Him.

"But why are you weeping my child says the Lord? For do you not know that this is the purpose of your life? To represent me in each one of your trials. For the church has gone on too long just trying to be comfortable but when you are uncomfortable I am in the circumstance. For how can I comfort you if you have not first been uncomfortable? How can I strengthen you if you have never been weak? How can my church know me if you have not first discovered the end of yourself and the beginning of me? My child I have chosen you to represent me because I knew you could endure it! For my church has not known me except through my sacrifice for them. For no one would have remembered me if I just came and healed a few people and left. I would have just been a memory but it is because I sacrificed much that they remember my love for them so do not be discouraged if I ask you to sacrifice much for it is through your sacrifice that my church gets to see me."

You are in a very special position and the Lord is very proud of you! He wants you to know that He has got you covered! He knows everything you have given up for Him and He knows every circumstance you have faced. He has not forgotten or missed a single one, in fact, He was with you through each one.

So do not grieve, no, let the Lord do all of the grieving for you! For know that the plans and future that He has in store for you is far greater than any sacrifice, you have had to endure! The Lord loves you and I challenge you to remember a time where you have given more to the Lord than you have received.

Let us turn this grieving into praise! For this is the season when our perfect groom was born. When His life was created so it could be traded for ours. When His love was poured out over the whole world so that we could be brought back into an intimate relationship with the Father and the groom!
