The Love Letter

An old brown envelope. Wrapped in love. It's addressed to you. What do you do?

What do you do?


Open it of course!


Or in this case, I'll do the honour's. I'll just let it be read out loud to you so you can hear the words and hopefully, let them soak in, to your heart - so that you can be blessed to know, just how loved you are.


What about love after hurt?


What if there is so much hurt in your past that your past can be symbolised as a monumental mountain that you know you could never, ever conquer, climb or 'get over' on your own.


What if there was someone who is willing to 'give you a hand?'

Someone who is standing, just waiting at the bottom of that mountain, and all you have to do is give Him, your hand.

Would you? I did.


Been hurt? Be loved!


Not just by any old love. There's a different kind of love! It's a love that is not only possible, it's attainable and available, even after hurt, along with that hand.


So, what are you waiting for?


You can have a listen to the April May Gems Radio Show Podcast - Episode 46 - "The Love Letter" right now, by clicking here.


Wait! Is it true that this 'love letter' really almost caused the internet server to ... crash?


Ahhh...yep! (read on...)


This episode features a couple of songs: "Love after hurt" by One House as well as the groovy Forrest Frank hit, "Always"

Also included, is the reading (in its entirety) of "Fathers Love Letter," which originated in 1999 by Barry Adams whose message resonated with so many that the website experienced such a surge in traffic, it almost caused the internet provider to shut down.


It has also been translated into 125+ languages and the devotional book version, became a best-selling hard cover gift book and is now available as a FREE e-book download on thefathersloveletter.com website.


I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did bringing it to you.

I am certainly no theologian and I’m far from ‘religious’ but I have definitely had more than my fair share of what I call super natural experiences, including ones that have unquestionably cemented in me that – Yes! Jesus is most definitely coming back!

Have you ever gone for a walk that turned into a 'yelling at the sky, nobody cares, crying out loud’ walk? I have. Very recently!

"I hope it all works out." "I hope I’m gonna be okay." "I hope things get better…" Hmmm... HOPE. Pie in the sky? or Person?
