Sincerely, Jesus, despite everything, or rather despite this loneliness that sometimes I feel everything is going well, better than I expected
I am pleased because I know that this loneliness and the difficult moments that I go through at times will make me grow spiritually and morally. I think I am getting stronger, more confident, even though my face sometimes looks sad or discouraged, I feel happy. In other words, I am having the peace I was looking for and that is good. My peace, my true peace is not a superfluous peace, full of tranquility and calm, no, this peace is tremendous, helping to find answers in critical and turbulent moments. It is there where the effectiveness of this peace is seen since it does not make me succumb but rather makes my spirit, a spirit of temperament, capable of withstanding any turbulence and capable of solving the unruliest situations that I may encounter.
Thanks, friend, for giving me a lot of love, thanks for being close to me even though sometimes I am not close to you, or at least I think so.
Thank you, Jesus,
Thanks,
Your friend Chela.

About the Book
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.
