My Dear Ones

My Dear Ones,

     You say you want something to call your very own, something that is yours,
I ask, " Is not your family Yours? ". Don't think of owning material things, in time
they'll pass away and change from one to another. You must set your heart upon 
heavenly things, things that in Christ, are everything! They'll never grow old, pass 
away or leave you alone; but rather will grow sweeter and more precious day by 
day: until the day they become eternal in The Lord.


You  ought not think of  yourself in such a selfish way, let not the rotteness of your 
heart have it's way with you. Rather desire that God's will is done in your life, let 
Him have His way with thee and know that His will is perfect.. It is You I love, it is 
YOU I own as my very own, no matter that others own you too: the fact is that I 
own you as my sister and I love you through Christ deeper than you can fathom.

Keep not your mind so set and clinched in anger or fear, let it go, the grass only 
appears to be greener, but is rather burnt beyond recognition. Be still, my dear 
ones, and wait! As God says, " Patience is a virtue! " Trust Him to fulfill your life 
here and to it's fullest it shall be. Your in your  prime and time seems to stand 
still, but just wait and dont throw it away. Let it ripen, let it grow, let it blossom and 
let it bloom. When your time to go has come, He will show you the way! Know that 
I love you and will stay with you in the heart while here on earth but I pray that you 
will forever be in God's!

                                                                     Your humbled Sister,
