What should I say?

I was planning a visit to somebody whom I know has been pushing God away for more than 10 years.
Whether you believe that to be a direct or indirect result, or has nothing to do with it; that person lost everything.
they lost all family & friends, even fake ones!
& is now emotionally starving, to say the least.

The visit wasn't meant to be an attempt at restoring their faith or anything like that, but I found myself thinking about how I should speak.
people have been talking to that person for quite sometime, & I believe almost all the approaches have been tried.
I thought of how miserable their life is now, & thought maybe I should be consoling.
I thought of how hardheaded they've been, & thought maybe I should be rebuking.
Then for some reason, I wanted to know what would God have said?
I imagined Him there, & imagined His words.
& although it was a fantasy, it was a fantasy I liked.
& wrote down

My goodness exceeds your bitterness.
My patience is greater than your stubbornness.
My love for you is stronger than your hate for your life.
And I want you to live more than you want to die.
I'm after you, and I will go everywhere after you, even to your hell.
And I'll win you over, you'll see.

This visit didn't take place yet, but I wish that person should -somehow- read this.
