As I'm writing this letter, I hear the wind howling outside and think about the time in my life where I felt as if I was in the middle of a storm.
In my life I have often struggled with an empty feeling deep down inside of me.
I had a family that loved me, friends that enjoyed my company and I was quite social.
Yet a silent longing deep in my soul followed me.
In different phases of my life I tried to fill this void with different things.

When I was a kid I tried to fill this void with having a lot of friends and trying to always obey my parents.
But I failed at these things and the void stayed.
when I was a teenager I tried to fill the void with attention from boys. This seemed to temporarily fill the void but eventually the emptiness always came back.
The dissapointment stayed and I was left alone.

Throughout all these years I knew about God.
I was raised in a Christian family, so I also tried to fill the void by doing everything I thought God wanted me to do.
I had phases where I read my Bible and prayed everyday.
As long as I did this, the void again seemed filled.
But as soon as I forgot to pray once or read my Bible, an extreme feeling of guilt would come over me and the emptiness returned.

Now, as I am sitting here I can tell you that I no longer have this empty feeling in my soul.
Jesus came into my life and showed me that only He can fill me the way I long to be filled.
You might be wondering: 'How did Jesus do this?'
Through relationship.
As human beings we long for unconditional love. 
We long to be seen. We long to be heard.
Through my relationship with Jesus I have received all these things.
And a relationship doesn't exist on rules and consequences, but by spending time with Jesus, talking to Him and sharing your worries.
Jesus will never fail you!
In my life I have experienced time and time again that Jesus is the only One that can fill the emptiness in my life. 
The Bible mentions this in Psalm 107:9


For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry
with good things.


I believe with all my heart that you are reading this letter not by coincidence.
I believe Jesus wants to invite you to get to know Him
and His Heart.
Jesus knows your worries, your fears and your insecurities.
And He is telling you:


"My precious child, I love you.
I have loved you since I have formed your life in your
mother's womb.
I have seen your struggles and loneliness as you were growing up.
Your tears were seen and I felt your pain.
My longing is to love you and to comfort you.
I long for you to tell Me everything that you are struggling with.
I have taken your struggles upon Myself.
I know that in this life you have been dissapointed in yourself and in others and that trusting is hard.
But give Me a chance and I will show you that My love
is unconditional.
My perfect love casts out all fear.
And that is what I long for you.
A life without fear and emptiness.
A life fulfilled with love and joy.
My Hand is reached out to to help you.
Please, take my hand,
reach out to me,
give Me a chance and I will show you
what living life to the fullest realy means.
My precious child, I love you."


Dear friend, I want to challenge you to give Jesus 
a chance.
For me personally, it was the best decision of my life.
You are safe to share your heart with Him!

Blessings,
