The Letter

Welcome to Internet Church!  The place you can come to just as you are.  This is a space created just for you, whoever you are, whether you speak with an accent or speak southern.  If you seek a connection with God, then this is the space and this is the place.

Let’s begin with this song.  Feel free to sing along if you wish.

Today’s Thought:

I received a letter in the mail yesterday.  It’s the first time I’ve ever received a letter such as this.

It was from God. 

He asked me to send this letter out to my readers.  I’m nothing special – just a messenger.  So here is what he wanted me to tell you.


“My Dear Child:

I am still here.  I haven’t left.  I have not abandoned you. 
When you face the challenges and traumas of life on earth, I am with you. 

I am with a new-born baby just as I am with the aged and the distressed.

I know the trials and joys you face and I am with you in the middle of them all. 

Your government is in my hands as well.  You may or may not like the current political party or the majority mindset at play, but I am watching.  I have a steady hand on the helm of this world, and I’m not losing my grip.

When you are in distress, I am near.
When you are discouraged, I whisper words of encouragement in your ear.
When you are well and at peace, I am present.
When you prosper I smile.

Let me remind you of some things you may have forgotten.

~I AM. Exodus 3:14

~I will never leave you or forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

~My peace is with you always.   John 14:27

~My grace is sufficient for any circumstance you face.
2 Corinthians 12:9

~My forgiveness is available and I never remember past faults.  Hebrews 8:12

~Seek me and I will be found. Jeremiah 29:13

~Call on me and I will answer. Jeremiah 33:3

~Come to me and rest.  Matthew 28:11

Signed, Your God


Draw near my friend.  You will find God’s arms wide open, and all the love, forgiveness, acceptance and comfort one could ever hope for.

Now, please watch this inspirational video clip by Hillsong.



A Prayer for All of Us:

God:
We want to draw near to you.  We want to come with all the trappings of our lives and allow you to help us sort through all this stuff.  Your promises sound too good to be true. 

Are you really the God who allows us to draw near?
Are you really the God who forgets about past sins?

Help us in our reticence to reach out to you. 

Please accept our threads of cautious trust.  We are looking for ropes with anchors.  Will you be our anchor?

Amen.
