Unmailed Letter #1

Dear friend,

I hardly know you but I accept you for who you are. I accept that you have certain flaws that have become rooted to the core of your soul. I know that you love the world because the world was all you thought you had in your times of despair. I understand that you love money because you have an old grandmother waiting on the hospital bed to be treated, and five mouths waiting at home to be fed. or maybe you love money because you had grown up with little or none on your plate. I know that you have hardened your heart because you were brought up in a cold ungracious world, or maybe you have grown apathetic because there was nobody around to lend you a hand when you were in need. I wish I could have been there to give you some warmth, but I wasn't and I'm sorry.

But my dear, if only I can hold your hand now and tell you that all is not lost. What was doesn't have to be now, and what is now does not have to be forever. So what had been perpetuated on you, does not have to be and shouldn't be brought into others. Because this moment truly contains all moments. This moment is all that matters now.

I wish for your sake that your heart would thaw. For it is only after you have given, will your hands be empty to receive. If I could, I wish I could give on your behalf, but I can't. I can only walk with you, if you would allow me to. I wish for your sake that your heart would soften. I wish for your sake that the stash of compassion that you have locked away once upon a time willl be opened again. I wish you will understand that His Will will always be done, you can choose to be the tool he uses now, or somebody else will easily fill your place. Hence, I only wish for your sake, not mine or the people waiting to receive.

I pray that you will choose what you think is right, even though you may be unwilling, even though you may be unsure, even though it may mean sacrificing some thing from you. Please don't close that door.

I wish for this with all my heart and all my love.
