Letter to a Friend

Dear Friend,

You are not alone.  

The pain you feel is real, but as with physical pain, it will come to its end...it may end quickly, providing great joy.  If it does, rejoice in the relief.  However, It may tarry long; it may ebb and flow over a lifetime - if so, you must learn to live with it's savageness and its respite. But always remember - all pain is passing, whether in this life or the next - strength and character are learned in the journey - fire refines our hearts.

Other things are passing too: worldly possessions (whether they be monetary or nature), our physical bodies, time.  Take hold of the the Eternal, the Ancient of Days, who does not waver in justice nor withhold His Perfect Love.  Your grasping heart will not come back to you empty, but full - full of Hope and Peace.

He who gives Hope to the hopeless, and Strength to the weak, awaits you with true comfort and perfect peace - it is His gift to you - grasp it.
