Prodigal: I am going to type a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: That is different, but maybe this will give you inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book The Power of A Woman’s Words by Sharon Jaynes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear friend, here is a daunting thought. You are a letter. I am a letter. God has written His message on our hearts and mailed us out to the world. People read His letters in our actions. They read His letters in our words. What will they read in your letter? Will they welcome the words like a soldier hungry for news from home, or view them like junk mail to be tossed in the trash? Will they dread the words and see them like a bill that needs to be paid, or will they see them as God intended…loving words wooing them to Christ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 10:3-4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
