“Are you sure this is what you want me to do, Father?”

“It is the only way, Son. 

I love my people, though they continue to go astray like sheep. 

Sending you to save them is the only way to get them back.”

“Your will be done, Father. 

I will go. 

I will gently and humbly show the depths of your unconditional love for them.”

“I shall miss you, my Boy, my dearest and only Son. 

Not having you by my side over the next three decades will leave an ache in my heart. 

However, this rescue mission is of upmost importance. 

We shall see each other in person again, and you will be back seated at my right side.”

“Father, I will desperately long for you, yet the Holy Spirit will keep us united as one until I return. 

I love your people too—our people. 

I will shepherd the lost sheep one at a time and show them what true love looks like—what you look like.”

“My Son, I am sending you with all of my blessing, love, and delight. 

For only in sending you, my precious Boy, will the people recognise how truly they are loved and desired. 

Only you are worthy and capable to save them from the evil one and his destructive schemes.”

“Father, I trust you. 

May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

Father, I love you.”

“And I love you, my Son. 

I shall only be a prayer away and the Holy Spirit will be guiding you. 

You are my greatest treasure, and now, it is time for the world to encounter me through you. 

Bring hope to my people and show them that earthly life and their physical death shall not be the end of the story.”

“Yes, Father. 

Yet not my will, but yours be done.” 

“I love you, Son. 

With you, I am well pleased.”
