Walk with Christ...Day 4

Today is day four of our 14 day walk with Christ. Below are your questions, story, and scriptures to read. Remember to ponder the questions and keep in mind the story that you read and perhaps take it with you to re-read. At the end of the day, evaluate how you did, and write your thoughts and feelings in your journal.

Day 4 Questions:
From whom do I get my strength?
Am I too busy, hurried and involved with worldly matters that I neglect what is really important?

Story: Dear Friend

I apologize everyone, I mixed up the stories and scriptures from Day 3 and Day 4. Day three was suppose to be 'Dear Friend' and Day four was suppose to be 'Satan's Convention'. Below is the story related to Day 3:

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, 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 you to kneel 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 you look 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. Oh, if you would only 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 nature 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
