42 Letters to People I Don't Know

Dear sister,

       I may have not met you yet, but I know that we already have something in common-- that's that we're both people of a second chance. Not because we are good, but because God is. Ephesians 1:7 says, "In Him we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's Grace."
       I know the road for you has been a rough one and, considering your circumstances today, became more far more rough than they ever should have. But God is with you-- just ask Him to be. I promise He'll listen.
       10 years ago, I lost everything - I was certain I was useless. But I was so wrong. God was only beginning His marvelous and big work in me. I was only on the title page of the indescribable story He is still writing in me today. Your story is still being written, too. Just ask our Maker God to take the pen from here. That was the best decision I ever made.
       You are so important, sister. I cannot wait for how your story turns out. Though I don't know you, I love you and am praying for you already. Not because we are good, but because God is.

 -Susie
