Love Letters
The Lord is so amazing, and I am so in love with Him. I want to give all of you a challenge for you to do in the near future. Take an hour or so, lock yourself in your room or somewhere quiet, and write a letter to God. Tell Him about all that you are thinking about, ask Him those questions you have that you can't seem to figure out. Talk to Him about the things He is revealing to you about Himself, and about you, and ask Him what all of it means. Pour your heart out to God and be honest with whatever is on your heart. Take this letter, and if it's hand written it's even better, but take this letter and put it somewhere where you know where it is, like your bible, bed side table, somewhere where you keep special things that won't get lost, but also somewhere that you don't see it everyday. Then some time later, months down the road when you come across this letter take it out and read it. You may be very suprised at the way that God answeres your heart cry.
......God I feel so overwhelmed by the silence, I feel overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge I have, and the lack of stamana I have. I let day to day things come in my way, and take my focus off of where it should be, except I don't know where that is.
Maybe I'm trying to do everything else I think I should be doing, like learning about all these things that I think you want to use me in and I'm missing the main ingredient.....You. A real, deep, passionate relationship with you. I'm bypassing the main channel, the only way, the real path. BUT WHY? Usually I know the answers to my own questions, but this time I don't. Why have I allowed myself to fall, when did it happen, how and why. Maybe I should not focus on when, why, and how it happened but pick myself up, dust off my knees and jump up into the lap of my father. I don't need to come to him with an explanation of what happeded and a plan to fix it, I can get up empty handed, scraped knees, and a wounded spirit, and listen to his plan to fix it, and His ideas on what to do now. God is not going to wash my face in my stubborness. All he wants me to do is allow him to hold me until the pain stops, and then walk with me this time. He's telling me.................. "let me help you this time, let me show you how to do it. My child it is not my desire to see you get hurt, but sometimes that's what it takes for you to know that you need me! I want to help you, I want to be apart of you and what you are doing."
That is a portion of a letter that I wrote 2 years ago. That was my heart cry, and I had no idea that God was going to respond to what I was writing as dramaticly as He did. We serve an amazing God who cares about every detail of our life. Put down on paper where your heart is today and watch God blow you away with His amazing love.
