Letter

The following is a letter I wrote to a good friend. As I wrote this, I realized that this is exactly how I feel about the sisters at Faith Church:

In a strange sense, our weakness reveals our absolute need to rely on God's strength.

You are my sister. In that regard, I will never fail you. I will do that by reminding you as much as possible that you need Jesus. If that sounds idealistic, it is not. It is the truth that I know you believe, deep in your heart.

You are my friend. So be strengthened by the grace that is extended to both of us through Christ. I take this very seriously, and I will not compromise the faith given to me and to you.

I sense something more is happening that you aren't telling me. Whatever it may be, know that there is someone praying for you; I will pray for you. But be even more comforted by the very fact that the Spirit is interceding for you.

You are a wonderful child of God; and if you are with Jesus, you are a crowned in glory creation of God. Have peace in what I say, and know that I love you.
