I Really Miss Her

I see her only once a week but only from one to two hours. Sometimes during that time she might say something to me but usually it is something she says repeatedly every week, something memorized. She never stops to hear what I have to say. Mostly she just sits there listening to someone else and then she leaves without saying goodbye.
For the most part, she doesn’t even know I’m there. The rest of the week I don’t think she ever thinks of me or our relationship except maybe that day once a week. Many times I don’t get to see her even then. You see, she leads a very busy life and there always seems to be things more important to her than visiting with me. I miss her terribly. What hurts most is she is my bride to be.
When we first met, our hearts were filled with love and we spent every free moment with each other. We would talk for hours on end, never noticing the time as it slipped away. But something happened in our journey together. Nothing earth shattering, just a slow drifting away. She says she still loves me but her actions say differently. Her visits have become farther and farther apart.
Sometimes, she doesn’t come visit me except for a few days a year, usually Christmas and Easter. Occasionally she will call me, but that usually happens when she is in desperate straits. I will help every time without fail and she will show her gratefulness for a time but, again, the same pattern returns. I miss her so!
If you see her, tell her how much I miss her, and that my love for her will never end. Thank you. How will you recognize her? It’s easy, she looks just like…………..YOU!
Eternally, Jesus
THIS IS A LOVE LETTER FROM JESUS TO THE BODY OF CHRIST, HIS BRIDE. HE INVITES US TO WALK WITH HIM EVERY DAY, TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM, AND TO ENJOY HIS PRESENCE – FROM NOW INTO ETERNITY. IF WE DON’T, WE WILL HAVE NOTHING SPECIAL AND SUPERNATURAL TO SHARE WITH OTHERS.
To God be the glory
