My
Love Letter to God
Today
I want to write a love letter to God. I guess this year because of Covid I am
much more aware of God‘s protection than ever before. I also have more time to
just sit and appreciate what God has done and is doing for me over the years of
my life. So please forgive me if this seems personal, however, the Lord is
leading me to share this with all of you. Perhaps it could be that you would be
able to say, “That is just how I feel”, and so maybe it can be your love letter
to Him as well. So here goes.
Dear Lord:
Good morning my dear
Heavenly Father. I am writing you today as I just want to say thank you for
everything in my life. For so many years I have felt you close to me, watching
over me, protecting me, loving me and showing me Your ways in my life. The
people who have come and gone and the people who are now in my life have
brought me Your love and guidance in so many ways, especially in areas where I
need correction, direction, and guidance. You always sent and still send
someone to be Jesus to me. There have been times in my life when I could and
still do, feel your arms drawing me close as to comfort and console me. Strong
arms that say “I won’t let go”. And I know you won’t.
Thank you for showing
me how to accept myself as I am, and at times that wasn’t easy on my part,
until you reminded me that you made me and what you make is always good. Please
help me to always live up to your expectation of me to be the person you see me
being. You understand me, you strengthen me, you allow me opportunity to tell
others about you, you influence my every day with Your word and the joy I feel
in You. You teach me to look up because I am of Your world, not the world here
on earth which I am passing through. I cannot thank You enough for even this
one great truth of which I claim and tuck away in my heart. So many times I’ve
had to remind myself of this and suddenly, my day became brighter!! You are my source of joy, today and for all
my tomorrows until I am finally home where I belong. Wow —how blessed I am.
Thank you.
Thank you for giving me
the ability to do the things I never imagined I could do, and I couldn’t
without you.
Thank you for teaching
me how to love, especially when it seems most impossible and to learn that all
things are possible in Christ.
Show me how to be a
living sacrifice as Jesus was and continues to be to us every day.
Please allow me when I
leave this world to leave Your love and gift of salvation to more people than I
can count, and not to bring any glory to me but rather, to bring glory to You
and one day welcome them to Your heavenly home.
Oh yes, and thank you
for giving me a talent or two which made it easier to share You with others.
Thanks for helping me develop them on Your time frame and only when I needed
them so I would not boast. You are so
amazing!!
Please Lord, never
never let me take You for granted, or take for granted the gifts and blessings
you have given me over the years. Every day, a new day, a new gift, breath
itself and the joy of seeing the day from dawn to dusk, adding yet another day
to my journey in life.
I am sure I don’t tell
you often enough how much I love You, so please forgive me. I’m sure I don’t
say thank you enough, however, I do love You and thank You more than I could
ever express. I am so grateful for a Father such as You, Who accepts me as I
am, never gives up on me, comes to my aid when I fail or need help, puts words
in my mouth that are like honey on my lips when someone needs a soft, sweet
word and shows me how to be silent, in the tender, mercy moments of life.
Am I blessed?
YES, YES, YES!!
And it’s all because of
you, Father God.
Well I guess I’ll close
for now Lord and one day we will be together, to walk and talk together in a
place where the roses never fade and when all the finishing touches are
complete on my mansion over the hilltop. Then I will come to you, because I’d
rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today.
Lord, one request
please, may I be in the choir, and lift my voice every day, forever more.
Love, your grateful
daughter Caroline.
P.S. Thank you for your
gift of Jesus to the world so many years ago, heaven continues to receive those
who have received Him as Lord and Saviour and many more still to come. Praise
His name!
Merry Christmas to you
and it is a Merry Christmas for us because of Your great love.
