Dearest Charlotte,
You knew my mother when she was pregnant with
me. I consider you a second mom. You’ve been with me through all my triumphs
and challenges with encouragement (and understanding) along the way. You also
know I can be rather blunt as I communicate things the way I see them. I don't abide by Christian rituals that try to dictate what my relationship with my heavenly Father should be. Only God and I know how intimate we want to be with each other.
Right now I have a close friendship with the
Almighty. He understands both my positive and
negative qualities. God knows where I am spiritually. When He is ready, I will
move organically to my next level of relationship with Him. The nice thing
about knowing God at this stage of my life is that it isn’t performance-based.
There is absolutely nothing I can do to make my heavenly Father love me anymore
than He does at this moment.
Honestly, I wish I could have had this
spiritual attitude when I was younger. It’s so freeing to not be on the
spiritual performance wheel constantly. I know God is using me even when I’m
not at my best in my life. I have many moments where I see Him orchestrating
events in my life that only He can do (God Winks). I’ll say it here and now as
I have in the past “I want and need to be used by You, my heavenly Father.”
Your Outspoken “Son,”

change you.” (T.D. Jakes)
