LETTER #42 of “LETTERS TO MY YOUNG ADULT CHILDREN AND TO A WOKE, DECEIVED AND UNLOVED GENERATION” (Letter 42) by Daniel Whyte III, Author of the National Bestselling Books: “Letters to Young Black Men” and “Letters to Young Black Women” First written over 30 years ago.
LETTER 42
Dear Danyel Ezekiel, Daniqua Grace, Danae, Danita, Daniel, Danni, Danyelle Elizabeth, Danielle Tekeela, Duran, and Kywaizia:
I pray to God that each of you is doing well in Christ and that you are living a life obedient to Christ, for His glory, for as you all know, “One life to live; it will soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” Don’t turn your back on Jesus because other people in the family, in the church, in the community, or jobmates are turning their back on Christ, for you will regret it throughout eternity. Make sure you pray and read the Bible each morning so that your days can go better. By the way, we have read the chronological Bible every day, plus your mother is reading the female verses I assigned to her over 35 years ago out loud in front of me each day. By the way, as I have said recently, if you know of people living in sin in the household or a secret house someplace else: fornication, adultery, divorce and re-married, abortion, child out of wedlock, homosexuality, lesbianism, or even incest, you need to move out immediately as bad things are going to continue to happen. One of the reasons for that is because each of you knows better because you were taught better from the Word of God by your Papa all of your life. When people are WOKE and brainwashed, they will do anything and will allow anything to happen to you because they want you to be defiled and destroyed just like them. By the way, if Danyelle, Daniqua or even Danyel Ezekiel would like to get out of there and come back here temporarily until they find their own place, they are welcome to do so. Danni, Danita, and Danae, as I have told you before, do not leave them there by themselves, and certainly do not leave them there with your friends by themselves. Bad things are happening in this WOKE world, and bad things will happen to you all if you do not take heed. I am praying for you to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” so that nothing bad will happen to you all as they are happening across the country. Be assured, I thank God for you, I love you very much, and I am praying for you every day all day.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY CONTINUES: Luke 2:36-40
Along with prayer and passing out Gospel tracts, the main thing we did to honor Jesus Christ for Christmas was read the Christmas story, preach the Gospel on Christmas Day, and have a good Christmas celebration meal but not as big as Thanksgiving. A VERY SIMPLE CHRISTMAS. I have precious memories. I hope you do too. Precious memories are one of the greatest benefits of living for the Lord. The Christmas story continues:
Luke 2:36-40:
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
MY LOVING CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL “TEXT” IS James 5:16: “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
Christmas Proves Your Value
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Some people believe it’s insulting to say someone is spiritually “lost.” But it’s not. It’s actually a great compliment to be called spiritually lost.
There’s a difference between losing something and misplacing something. If you misplace something, it means it wasn’t important to you. But if you lose it, it’s valuable enough for you to try to find it. You misplace a bobby pin; you lose your glasses.
People are only lost because they’re worth finding. Think of it this way: The value of a masterpiece doesn’t go down when it’s lost; it goes up.
When you aren’t connected to God, you’re lost in many ways. You lose your direction, God’s protection, your potential, your happiness, and your future home in heaven—just to name a few. But there’s one thing you don’t lose: your value.
You’re so valuable that, on the very first Christmas, God paid the price of his Son to find you. The most famous verse in the Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”.
You matter so much to God that he underwent a rescue mission to find you. He came to Earth as a little baby so that one day he could die on a wooden cross for your sin.
The Christmas story reveals your value. God loved you enough that, when you were lost, God sent his very best— Jesus —to get you back.
Never forget: You matter to God.

Danyel Ezekiel, Daniqua Grace, Danae, Danita, Daniel, Danni, Danyelle Elizabeth, Danielle Tekeela, Duran, and Kywaizia, I love you very much, and I am praying for you all “Without Ceasing.” Please pray for me and the ministry “Without Ceasing.” Thanks for the precious memories.
Love God and Jesus Christ first,
Love Papa, second.
Love,
