This was a handout we put together for the youth of our church. I didn't write this and I'm not sure where it comes from, but it's a nice reminder that God loves us and that He cares about us. We should remember our purpose for being here on earth and be grateful for all He has given us.
Dear Children,
I remember well the day you left my side, wandered through the veil and ventured forth to fulfill your earthly mission. Be assured that my thoughts are with you now as always. I love you with all my heart. I know of your lives, the good and the bad, your grief, your disappointments, your unrewarded efforts, your frustrations and temptations, but always remember, if you will only come home again ALL THAT I HAVE IS YOURS.
Children, realize that in each of you I placed a bit of heaven; no one was exempt. I love you all. Each of you has some blessed gift, some talent, some small part of me in you. Search for it, develop it, use it and most importantly share it with others. If you really love me, help others find themselves, and lead them to me: show your love by serving others.
Repent of your failings and humble yourselves. Make yourselves teachable and continually strive to improve. You have weakness to help you be humble; please don’t curse me for that. I did it because I love you. Be full of hope, don’t let discouragement engulf you. I’ll come if you need me.
My children, cease your idle contentions. Be peacemakers; it breaks my heart to see so many of my children fighting. If they only could see what I have hoped, planned and desire for them. My heart breaks as I watch them, but you, my faithful children, are my hope.
It is through you that my work must proceed. You haven’t much time and there is so much to be done. Choose to begin my work today. Accomplish the mission I gave you before you left me. I’ll help you. I’m never too busy or too far away to come to you. I’m nearer to you always than you might suspect. I have so much I’d like to tell you, but I can’t here. Come to me often in prayer; I love to talk to my children. Be diligent in my work and my kingdom will be yours. I’d love to take you in my arms but I too must wait patiently, for that time will come. Until then, I leave you with my peace, my blessing, my love and never forget I am nearby if you need me.
I love you and miss you so very much, and oh how I am looking forward to your return again to me and your mother.
With All My Love,
Your Heavenly Father
