My dearest brother, Richard,
I read your post yesterday, and for the life of me, I could not find one word to comfort you by!!
I tossed and turned all night, my heart was heavy for you and Martinez.
Then, in the morning, this thought came to me:
God said through Paul to comfort each other with the same comfort that we are comforted.
So here it is, the comfort that I am comforted by:
When I feel like I must do God's job, when I feel down and have one of these seasons [sometimes days]
where I feel that it my salvation depends on me, and from I stand, it will never be accomplished,
when the cross gets to heavy to bear, when I see my own wretchedness, weakness and dirt,
when I question why, when all these if's come to my mind, when scripture does not connect with Scripture,
when I just DON'T UNDERSTAND, I retreat in the love language.
I pray that you will not laugh at me, but here it is:
I play this song in my CD player.
Here are the lyrics:
"Looking back, in retrospect,
Funny how I see,
The laughs and frowns,
The ups and downs,
Is part of destiny!!
You wish upon a star, and hope,
One day that wish come true,
BUT I WOLDN'T CHANGE A SINGLE THING
FOR THE CHANCE OF LOVING YOU.
Born for this, destined for greatness!!
I was prepared for this,
YOUR STRENGHT FOR MY WEAKNESS,
I learned that loving you is easy,
And that with love it comes a RISK
And in my quest to find the answer,
FOUND I WAS BORN FOR THIS!!!!!
What we don't KNOW,
Time will tell,
This I do believe,
Life doesn't mean just happiness,
There's always room for rain,
BUT IF WE LEARN WHAT MATTER MOST
SPRING WILL COME AGAIN!!!
THERE IS A TIME TO LIVE
AND A TIME TO DIE
Let's celebrate each moment of our lives,
AND IF EVER LOOSE OUR WAY
BECAUSE THE HEART IS TORN,
NEVER LET A QUESTION WHY,
THE REASON WE ARE BORN!!!!!!!
I hope that this touched your heart,
Let go and let GOD!!
[I HEAR YOU LAUGHING!!!!
]
I hope that is not at me!!
And if it is so what,
I became as fool, and I am willing even to became a clown,
JUST TO SEE YOU SMILE!!!!!
Your sister that loves you,
Shalom.
Ariel
PS: Martinez this is for you as well brother!!!
Love,
Ariel
