I hope that you have seen in me a life-dominating trust in and love for Jesus Christ, God in human flesh. My greatest desire for you is that you will embrace him for yourself and cling to him constantly, consistently, and unendingly. I pray that you will love Christ to such a degree that any competing love will be crowded out. May your love for Christ be such that it edits and shapes your choices in life—that Christ’s concerns will grow to become your concerns.

I pray that your trust in Christ (your confidence that his ways are the right ways and ultimately fulfilling) will be so real that thedoubts that arise along the way will be submitted to him. Even when you feel like you have no answers, may you find your consolation and your comfort in him, the Fount of Life.

Keep this Biblical faith unwaveringly. Let nothing and no one dissuade you. Teach it to your children as though there is nothing more important—because there isn’t. Share it with others. Encourage others in it. Develop a passion to teach it. Dedicate yourself to these pursuits, because it matters to God, and it will be valuable forever.
