Dear child,

Do not listen to the world. I only holds a surface joy for you, if circumstances are favorable, and causes you to sin and the wages of sin is death. Come to me and I will give you a true joy. One that will last forever. A deep, inner joy that cannot be found in the world because the world is not of me and I am not of the world.

The world only holds shame and remorse for you when you fail people but when you fail me I hold out love and forgiveness. The world offers broken promises, people's treachery and lies. I give you my word that never changes, regardless of what the world does. My word is true. I am God and I CANNOT lie nor break my promise to you.

The world runs warm when people need you to do something for them and turns cold as ice when you cannot. My love is constant and true. My character is love and I am the same always, yesterday, today and tomorrow. I am the same God that Moses and the prophets worshipped. I am still here just as I was then. Still true and merciful.

Please do not fall in love with the world. It only offers you an imitation of life. I offer life eternal. True life, abundant and free.

Your Father,
God
