“Thankfully, we have a God who does not quit being God when the situation is bad.” (Daniel Brown)
Dearest Papa,
This is my
letter to You. Thank you for loving me so much that you sent your perfect Son,
Jesus Christ, to die for a sinner like me on a cross so that I could have
eternal life with You in Heaven. Thank you for all of the blessings I have
received from You, and take for granted daily. You never give up on me no matter
how many bad choices I have made in my life.
Thank you for
the trials I’ve experienced because they have shaped me into the person I am
today. You are the most understanding, loving, accepting, and all-powerful God.
I have no doubt in my mind that You exist because I would not have made it
through my younger years without You guiding me all the way.
You see my
future that I have no idea about. Your job of keeping everything under control
seems like it would be difficult. How do you do it all? Why do you continue to
love Your children endlessly even when some of them ignore You? Even in my
darkest life moments when I turned away from You, You waited patiently for me
to get myself together as You pursued me. When I feel broken, You remind me
that I am treasured.
Why do you love
me so much? I curse a lot. I tend to overindulge on lots of things that are not
good for me. I have broken at least 8 of your 10 commandments in the book of
Exodus. I’ve left You many times. I’m selfish. I don’t spend quality time with
you like I should. I don’t always understand why you allow some people to die
way before their time should be up here on Earth. I do believe that you take
some people home that need Heaven the most.
Until the end of
my life, I will try to have the same kind of faith in myself that You have in who
I am. I will try my best to show you how much I appreciate the gift of life You
gave me. Once again, thank you, God, for loving me, and accepting me as the
imperfect person I am.
Love,
Your Cherished
Child
