Letters to Jesus from a Teenager

By Graciela Lopez

This book is a compilation of letters that I wrote when I was a teenager. I was having a lot of issues and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I learned about Jesus when I was little. My mom always taught me that I could tell everything to Jesus, that he was my friend. I started to write to Him believing in my heart that He was reading them. I know that helped me a lot throughout my youth and I wanted to share with others and encourage them. Jesus is your friend and you can write to Him about anything that is in your heart. He is real and He can help you.

For you my Love

Is there love as great as yours?

Make me an instrument of love

Only you

The greatest need in the world for every person is to be loved.

Today is another day for which I must thank you.

When there is no love, everything is so empty…..

Prologue

This book that I’m putting together is from my journal when I was a teenager. I was feeling lonely at times, at others I was confused or loved. The thing is I was going through so many feelings and I didn’t want to talk to my mother or my friends. I wanted to talk to someone else that would understand me and help me and for some reason even if I wouldn’t see Him or get a spoken response, I felt like He was listening to me, or should I say, He was reading my letters and giving me peace and strength. I felt free to write anything I wanted, my feelings were on the paper and no one would judge me, especially Him, my friend, my dear friend Jesus.

Yes, I was writing letters to Jesus, that was what my journal was about! I was talking to Him like a real friend and I was feeling peace, strength, and love. I wanted to tell Him anything because I knew
