Do u know how much I love you? of how deeply I know you?
I know your name, your favoriete pastime, your worst fear. I know what u love, and what u hate. I chose the color of your hair and eyes. I know the number of hairs on your head, the number of days you'll live, and every secret in your heart. I know every detail of your past, what you're doing, saying and thinking right now, and what your future will be. I know your deepest thoughts, dreams and desires. And I know the longing u have; the longing to escape and find a better, greater world. A world that is found within the pages of seven particular boeken you've loved and cherished and read cover-to-cover, over and over again.
I saw the hope in your face each time u knocked on the back of every closet in the house, and the disappointment when u walked away, shaking your head and smiling sadly; your mind telling u that it's only make-believe, but the aching in your hart-, hart crying out for the other place u know must exist somewhere...the place that is your true home.
I've felt your happiness when u watch the movies, your peace when u listen to the music, your longing when u gaze up at the poster on your uithangbord and sigh, sadly...because u know that u can't get there just door wanting to go.
And I've seen u in the back of your shallow closet, huddled among the clothes and hangers, clutching your knees to your chest and burying your head in your arms, silent tears filling your eyes and running down your cheeks...because your homesickness is seemingly unbearable. u just want to rip away from this world...this stupid, sinful, messed-up world...and fly away to the place that was meant for you, to where u belong.
I've watched u grow and struggle, felt your emotions, and heard u crying out to Me; fervently praying, begging, pleading with Me to take away that blank, white uithangbord staring back at u and replace it with a snowy wood and a glowing lamp-post.
I've heard you. I've listened. And now it is My turn to speak.
I love u meer than u could ever begin to imagine, and I have special plans for you; plans to give u a hope and a future. But My purpose for u is not in Narnia. At least, not the Narnia u have read about. That world is ended; the shadowlands are no more. The only way to visit it now is through the imagination I gave you.
The place your hart-, hart truly longs for is the Real Narnia (although many people refer to it as "Heaven"). The reason why u are aching for another world is because this world is not your true home. Your real home pagina is with Me, not in this temporary universe. That's what I want for you: to live with Me, joyfully, in My country; in the Great Story that goes on forever, in which every chapter is better than the one before.
But for now u shall have to wait, for I still have need of u here. The battles and perils in the Narnia boeken are nothing compared to the evils in this world, and there are many who need your help. Please beer with Me and be patient, for the time u live here is short compared to the eternity that awaits u in My Country. I promise that someday, I will call u home. In the mean time, there is work for u to do. Stay true to the task I have gegeven you; and just as Jill repeated the signs to herself every day, u also should also be reading My Words every day. They will greatly aid u in your quest.
And for those of u reading this who have not found Me of do not truly know Me yet, take hart-, hart and keep searching for Me. I do exist in your world, but there I have a different name. u must find it and learn to know Me door that name. For door knowing Me a little in the Narnia you've read about, u will know Me even better here. And there is a way for u into My Country from your world. Remember, it lies across a river...but do not worry, for I am the great Bridge Builder. All u must do is kruis the bridge I have made.
I know that the longing in your hart-, hart will never be fully quenched until u reach that place; but take comfort in My words, and know that My love for u is limitless. When u are thirsty for home, come to Me and drink.
For My water is Living Water, and there is no other stream.
With all My love,
Aslan (a.k.a. the King Above All High Kings, Son of the Emperor-Beyond-The-Sea, the Lion of Judah, the lam of God, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Emmanuel, Wonderful Councilor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, The Great I AM...and more.)
