Dear Kayla:
You are such an incredibly profound teenager, who trusts in Life Eternal in our Father’s house:
“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you” (John 14:2).
You remind me, and give me comfort and peace, now, that my own father, who had left me over half a century ago, “is ok and he is in good hands.”
You have helped make me utter to my father: “Daddy dearest. Sorry I haven’t thought about you in the hustle and bustle of life for so long. I know that it is no excuse. But I know, too, that you always understand, forgive me, and then pinch me on my cheek, and laugh at me….”
Please keep up with your good work on reading and studying the HOLY BIBLE, GOD’S WORD.
You will find your life so enriched and fulfilling with it.
I strive to be wide-read since I was a teen, like you. But, truly, I find answers, strength and fulfillment in life only in the Scriptures throughout all the sorrows and joys, downs and ups on my life’s meaningful journey.
Thank you.
May “The LORD bless you, and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance on you,
And give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26);
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
