Christ's Valentines letter
By ouma Patrick
My Beloved,
I have loved you with an everlasting love. Before the foundations of the earth were laid, I knew you. I formed you with care, breathed life into you, and called you by name. You are mine.
I see your weariness, your searching hearts, your longing for peace in a world that so often feels unkind. I hear your silent cries, the prayers you whisper in the darkness, the burdens you carry alone. You were never meant to walk this path without me. Come, and let me give you rest.
My love is not like the love of this world—it does not falter, it does not fade. It does not depend on your perfection, for I chose you in your weakness. I came not for the righteous, but for the broken, the weary, the lost. My arms remain open, no matter how far you have wandered.
I bore the weight of your sin, your shame, your suffering, so that you would know freedom. Every stripe upon my back was for your healing; every nail, a declaration that nothing could ever separate you from me. Even death could not hold me, for my love is stronger still.
And now I wait—patiently, tenderly. Not with condemnation, but with grace. I stand at the door of your heart and knock. Will you let me in?
Come to me. Trust me. Love as I have loved you. Be light in the darkness, hope to the hopeless. Forgive, as I have forgiven. And when the road grows difficult, know that I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
I go to prepare a place for you, where sorrow and pain shall be no more. Until then, remain in me, as I remain in you.
I love you now and forever.
– Jesus
