As I studied the Bible lesson for this week, The law of God and the law of Jesus, I wrote the following imaginary letter. Let me know what you think.
My dear friends,
Your current situation has been on my mind for a long time. Here I am, enjoying my beautiful home and lovely garden while you are eking out a living. What joy is my home when you are suffering?
I am writing to invite you to come live with me. I am not offering a shelter until you get your life together, I am offering a permanent home where all you needs will be met. I really want you to come, but you will need to know me well in order to decide if you will accept my offer. I am glad to come to you so we can get better acquainted. Don’t worry about being good enough, I already love you. If you cooperate with me, I will retrain you to fit in just fine.
I recognize that your current troubles are partly a result of your poor choices, and debts you cannot pay. That is not a problem to me. I already paid your debt for you; you just need to accept it. Then, just as I said, if you are willing and spend a lot of time with me, I can give you advice so you can make good choices and eventually learn how to avoid more debt.
In every relationship, someone must be the top. That is me. Once you get to know me, I know you will realize that I use my authority only to your good.
I suppose it could be said that selflessness and love for others is the basic rule of my home. If this sounds good to you, please let me know. I am looking forward to spending time together.
I do hope you take me up on this, I want so much to spend an eternity with you,
I love you,
The Lord of the Universe
