My dearest child,
Do 你 know how much I 爱情 you? 或者 how deeply I know you?
I know your name, your 最喜爱的 pastime, your worst fear. I know what 你 love, and what 你 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 你 have; the longing to escape and find a better, greater world. A world that is found within the pages of seven particular 图书 you've loved and cherished and read cover-to-cover, over and over again.
I saw the hope in your face each time 你 knocked on the back of every closet in the house, and the disappointment when 你 walked away, shaking your head and smiling sadly; your mind telling 你 that it's only make-believe, but the aching in your 心 crying out for the other place 你 know must exist somewhere...the place that is your true home.
I've felt your happiness when 你 watch the movies, your peace when 你 listen to the music, your longing when 你 gaze up at the poster on your 墙 and sigh, sadly...because 你 know that 你 can't get there just 由 wanting to go.
And I've seen 你 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. 你 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 你 belong.
I've watched 你 grow and struggle, felt your emotions, and heard 你 crying out to Me; fervently praying, begging, pleading with Me to take away that blank, white 墙 staring back at 你 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 爱情 你 更多 than 你 could ever begin to imagine, and I have special plans for you; plans to give 你 a hope and a future. But My purpose for 你 is not in Narnia. At least, not the Narnia 你 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 心 truly longs for is the Real Narnia (although many people refer to it as "Heaven"). The reason why 你 are aching for another world is because this world is not your true home. Your real 首页 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 你 shall have to wait, for I still have need of 你 here. The battles and perils in the Narnia 图书 are nothing compared to the evils in this world, and there are many who need your help. Please 熊 with Me and be patient, for the time 你 live here is short compared to the eternity that awaits 你 in My Country. I promise that someday, I will call 你 home. In the mean time, there is work for 你 to do. Stay true to the task I have 给 you; and just as Jill repeated the signs to herself every day, 你 also should also be 阅读 My Words every day. They will greatly aid 你 in your quest.
And for those of 你 阅读 this who have not found Me 或者 do not truly know Me yet, take 心 and keep searching for Me. I do exist in your world, but there I have a different name. 你 must find it and learn to know Me 由 that name. For 由 knowing Me a little in the Narnia you've read about, 你 will know Me even better here. And there is a way for 你 into My Country from your world. Remember, it lies across a river...but do not worry, for I am the great Bridge Builder. All 你 must do is 交叉, 十字架 the bridge I have made.
I know that the longing in your 心 will never be fully quenched until 你 reach that place; but take comfort in My words, and know that My 爱情 for 你 is limitless. When 你 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 羊肉, 羔羊 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.)
