Will blog about Easter camp and what I learnt there soon... but in the meantime... this is something we did during bible study:

A love letter from Jesus

My dear child,

How are you? I just had to send you this letter to tell you how much I love and care about you.

I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you would talk to Me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you, and I waited. You never came. O yes, it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your Friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night, and I longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you. You awakened late and rushed off for the day... My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad, so alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me so many times too, but I love you. I try to tell you in the quiet green grass. I whiseper it in the leaves and trees, breathe it in the colours of the flowers. I shout it to you in the mountain stream, and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air. My love for you is deeper than oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need you have.

We will spend eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on this earth. I really know (because I was there) and I want to help you. My Father wants to help you too. Just call Me, ask Me, talk to Me. It is your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait... Because I love you

Your friend,
Jesus

The bible study asks us to write a letter in response and this is my letter... (after watching a scene from the Passion of the Christ -yes... I haven't watch the show)

Dear Jesus,

As I try to picture and think of all the suffering and pain You went thru on the cross, all I can say is I'm sorry...

I'm sorry that I have let you down time and again and I don't know how I could have acted like You didn't exist after all that You have done for me.

I'm sorry for all the times I hurt You and although I may never fully understand how much You love me, I want to love You too. But sometimes its so hard, so please help me to love You all the time. Help me never to forget Your wonderful grace and mercy and help me to love others the way You love them.

Nothing I can ever do, can repay what You have done for me on the cross. But help me to never stop trying to obey Your commandments, for its the least I can do and its the best way I can ever live my life. And Thank You so much for what you've done for me. Thank You for creating me the way I am and all the beautiful nature that surrounds me everywhere I go. Thank You...

Love,
Lydea

Do take some time today to think about the glorious nature God has created and all the blessings He has given to you. And don't forget to thank Him.
