Alejandro,

as promised, I am writing you a letter. I promised to be the loudspeaker as long as you will need it, before you will hear God's voice on your own. I will introduce you to God, to the famous God I have been talking about so many times, the same famous God a lot of people are talking about, where therefore a lot of opinions are all over the place. Sad to say - not always the most appropriate ones, so I'll try to do a good job for you to be introduced properly. I will use the only authorized tool He has written and told us to use. A handbook. The "all you will ever need to know" book. The life manual. The Bible. :)

Thing Nr.1, most important, above all things you need to know about God's character is

LOVE.

God is love. God loves. God wants to be loved. Out of love He has created us, out of love are all of His actions. God is a perfect lover for His unconditional love makes the best decisions in every case. Since we have been created out of love, love is all we are seeking throughout our lifetimes. All the actions we ever take have the purpose to receive love. But we are lacking it. We don't find it. When we don't find the perfect love, we replace it with all the things we can find instead - anger, need for recognition and attention, violence, lack of self confidence, pride, sex, alcohol, etc. All the things we do in order to make ourselves feel better, where at the end we find ourselves in a black pit instead. Why so? Because the perfect love is not among us. It comes from the perfect lover - God. Only. We were created to love God in the first place, to get to know the Perfect Love in the first place and only after that share it with everything around us. The only way to share a perfect love is to first receive it from God. Why was God such an egoist? Well...He wanted to be loved. He wanted a partner to share His creation, His world, His love with. He created a man and in His love gave this man a complete freedom (you give freedom to the ones you love, otherwise it is not love, right?). He gave a freedom also NOT to love back and most people have unfortunately chosen this option. However, before they did, God gave a man an example of how much He loves us. He gave man a woman - someone, who is just like a man, so that they could share their love and know by this example how much God craves us to be His partners. If both of the partners have loved God before each other, they have learned what a perfect love is and can share this with one another. If they haven't, they share whatever they have seen...most of the time it is requirements for certain looks, behaviour, education, social inclusion, control over the personal lives of each other, moral violence, etc. Eventually they loose the little bits of imperfect love they had at the beginning. Well, God's love is still around. It is patient. It waits a lifetime, hoping that man's heart will seek for something true, something long lasting, something beautiful among dirt! A man finds, what he is seeking for. A man finds God's love if he is SEEKING for it. Kicking off his anger, pride, prejudice, lies, fear - everything that is heavy and dirty around, to find the thing he is searching for. Believing it it. NOT giving up. Ever.

Would you like to be that man, Alejandro? Would you like to be loved unconditionally by someone like God? Would you like to be honored and called God's son? Would you like to shake off the dirt and dig into the soul for the true values?


1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
