a letter...

dear God::

i know that you can see all that i have done, all that i have thought and all that i have spoken. but somehow, i think that i can hide things from you. Lord, i'm a fool to think that there is some deep, dark spot in me that i can keep hidden from you; but i still think that.

knowin gall of that, i still need to tell you that i have sinned. i have turned against you; i have kept quiet when your name should have been spoken. i have been given opportunities to do Your work Lord, and yet i felt that it was not my time to carry out Your will. who am i, Lord to determine when the time is right to do your will?! how naive must i be to think that i have control over this life. who am i, God!?

Lord, why do you take me back despite all of this? why do you keep finding people who will pour their lives into mine to ensure that i remember that you are right there with me? i'm a two-faced, blasphemous, no-good sinner. and yet, You still love me. You still draw me near to You...You still pick me up, dust off my clothes, pat me on the back and encourage me to move forward in You.

Lord, i am nothing without You. i hope that You can forgive me for all that i have done. for cussing you out. for desecrating your name. Lord, please have mercy on this sinner. please change my heart so that when i get to the gates of heaven, You can say "well done, good and faithful servant."

with love,
me

  2. What a blessing God is to us, we are all sinners and yet he forgives us all, it is not just one he must forgive over and over but All. And yet he does, though he may grow tired of this he still continues to forgive, bless, guide, and give grace. What a Glorious God we have that we can come to him with anything, at anytime of the day and he will hear us, he will forgive us and he will love us more than anything we could ever image. What a Glorious God we have.
