Hey John, What goes through your little mind? We big people can only imagine. When your face wrinkles up, are you worried? When you smile, are you having a happy thought? When you sleep, do you dream? John, I want you to know you are loved. Your mother loves you in ways you’ll never understand, and you have a brother and sister that love you, too. The family you’re living with loves you, though we know you’ll only be with us a little while. And though I’m not your daddy, I love you, too. But I want to tell you who loves you most. Our Father in Heaven loves you perfectly. He has a special place in His heart for little fellas like you. He’s the one who made you and He has a great plan for your life. He put you all together while you were still inside your mommy, and I think He did a beautiful job. I’ll tell you, John, life on this earth is going to get a little more difficult than it is right now. I wish I could say things will always be pleasant, but you’ve entered a world that’s a little messed up. The truth is – our Father has an enemy who hates everything good. He roams around looking to make trouble and he’s made trouble for us all. But I don’t want you to worry because our Father has a Son who beat this bad guy and He promises to help us while we’re here. This Good Friend wants us to know this world is not our true home. You’re going to like it here in many ways. You’ll do a lot of fun things and you’ll see some beautiful places, but always remember… there’s something much better to come. Good night, John. Sweet dreams…
“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:2-6
