This past week I was given the chance to go to Girl's Camp up at Camp Mia Shalom. While I was up there, I could feel the spirit and feel my testimony growing. One thing that really struck me, was when people talked about Christ. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, goosebumps all over my body! I knew for a fact that my Savior lives and loves me.
At Girl's Camp a few years ago, my YCL's gave me a letter from Christ. It goes like this:
"Dear Friend,
I just had to send you a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk with me, also. It hurt me that you didn't talk to 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 on your pillow and your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so that we could talk. I have so many gifts for you, but you awakened late the next day and rushed off to school. My tears were in the rain.
Today I noticed you looked sad, and upset. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me so many times too. But, I love you. Oh, if only you would listen to me. I really love you. I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the green grass. I whisper in the leaves on the trees, and breathe it in the color of the flowers. I shout it to you in the mountain streams and give the birds love songs to sing, clothe you in warm sunshine and perfume the air with natures scents. My love for you is deeper than the oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need in your heart.
If you only knew how much I want to help you. I want you to meet my Father. He wants to help you, too. My Father is that way, you know. Just call me, ask me, talk with me. Please, please don't forget me. I have so much to share with you.But, I won't hassle you any further. You are free to call me. It's up to you. I'll wait because I love you.
Your brother,
Jesus "
This letter means so much to me. I turn to it in my times of trial. I know that my Heavenly Father and His Son are here for me always, and love me. I just have to remember to talk to them and listen. They are my friends, my family. Jesus Christ did gave us the greatest gift anyone could give. He died for all our sins so we may live with Him again. He loves us and misses us. It brings tears to His eyes when we go astray and forget to talk to Him. I love him with all my heart, and I know that He lives!
