Here is a love letter He spoke to me, but it’s not just for me – It’s for everyone who loves Jesus.

My dear __________  ( fill in your name),

I want you to know that I am with you and love you.  I am your Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley, and you are those to Me as well.

When you walked through stormy times, I was there loving you.  When you stumbled and fell, I picked you up. I have never left you or forsaken you.

When the waters rose and tried to flood you, I held up my hand and commanded them back.  You have no idea how much I have protected you when the enemy would have come in like a flood to destroy you.  I could reveal it to you when you get to heaven, but you will be so taken up with Me and the riches and wonder there, that you will not be interested in looking back on your life on the earth.

In the meantime, while you are waiting to come to Me in heaven, be caught up in my Presence and enjoy your time with Me.  For I enjoy the time I spend with you.

Your Prince,

Jesus
