Dear Shia,
I am hoping desperately that you
really have decided to follow Jesus. So many Christians have watched
and loved you for such a long time, praying hard for you to seek and
find God. How strange is that? Hundreds and thousands of people
you've never, and might never- in this life- meet, have seen you and
prayed for you. You don't know how torn I am at this news though; I
feel like I'm holding my breath. I wish I could speak to you myself,
about the things God has spoken and shown to you, and be comforted to
believe the headlines by your sincerity and enthusiasm. It's crazy to
think the connection we now have; the Bible talks about believers
being “like-minded” and how that changes the dynamics of their
relationships. That though they come from all walks of life, now
share this love for God, this forgiveness and endless grace they've
found and can interact as old friends because of this common ground
that is now the foundation of their lives.
I'll pray that you don't become
distracted by the world around you. Keep your eyes on Jesus; don't
forget to cling to Him in everything. He is your defender. He's your
healer. He's your strength. Jesus is everything you need and He is
with you always.
Sincerely,
A sister in Christ
