One of your clients has written me faithfully. I wrote them recently and asked them about their opinion concerning you. I very much liked their response. I thought I would write you the only way available to share in the same spirit of blessing you as they. You showed much kindness to Scott and I and your friendship seemed genuine. It would only be right of me to reciprocate the kindness. First I want you to know that I still love you and desire all that is good, noble, and true to fill your life. I know that the trial you face can crush almost any man. I do not know what motivates you or if you believe your choices wise. None of that really concerns me. As a loyal friend I can love you even if the choices are a damage to me. I have always believed this concerning you that the fire in your belly was placed there by the Lord to one day be used for His purpose. I don’t know if you are in a state of trusting God currently though I suspect you are not. If my suspicion’s true it hurts me not for fear of what that means to me but because I truly want the best for you. It is a very rare thing to hear God’s voice calling you but there is endless hope and promise in that calling. It is never too late to chase after the high calling. The man God wants you to be is one who will hear His voice and place your life upon it in trust. Only you know if you are doing this at the moment. I know this for certain there is no lawyer who is trained in the faith and none will offer you wise eternal counsel. They have sold out their souls to a system unholy based on the God of mammon. You can bet Christ did not use your lawyer as a mouthpiece though maybe as a test. If He is testing you He is loving you. In John 6 Jesus test Phillip who was handicapped by facts. Jesus was in the area that was where Phillip was from. Phillip knew all the prices and merchants and their supplies. Phillip knew the scriptures of 11 Kings 4 where Elisha fed 100 with insufficient supplies and now one greater than Elisha was asking him “How do we feed all these people?” (5000+) Jesus already knew what He was going to do. Phillip went right to what his eyes could see and not faith. Andrew went to half faith with a response like here is something to use but I don’t know how you will. Both were anemic of trust. You may have been tested in this way and Christ already knew what He was going to do but wanted to see where your eyes were focused. If you made a choice based on what your eyes see and not on trust that what He has planned for you is good than as your friend I want to encourage you to repent and allow God to show Himself strong. Feel free to write me though you’ve been instructed not to. I don’t need to talk or discuss the case with you but I would like the opportunity to impart some of my strength. As a friend I owe this to you. I have little concern for this case it is like a mosquito bite. My God has all the dangers and pitfalls already tagged with caution and detour markers. I truly have no fear and that is what I desire for you. Let God make us a circle of champions that we all may delight in the spoils of victory. Be well my friend and be wise. I know this is the moment of your opportunity and destiny.
