I am here, Luke.
I will say only a word, for I see how you feel and how important it is that you believe that the Master wrote you, and how certain it is that you can rely upon what he said. If you only knew how much he is interested in you, and how much love and care He is bestowing upon you, you would not for a moment doubt or lose faith in his promises. And, besides, we are all with you in love and efforts to help you.
So believe and you will not be disappointed.
With my love I will say, good night.
Your brother in Christ,
Luke.
