a letter to God
dear God, I feel it now. this knowledge of something I can not know. A burden for something personal and true. God if your glory is so present in this world you created release me from this place of impersonality. I want to shine I want to talk with you as a father and son. God I want you. I am nothing more than an empty shell. sitting here typing words without you. If I need you so than how can I live without you? I am nothing short of dead without your breath. It was that breath that brought me from the dust, do not deprive me of it now. Heal me from my iniquities. Heal me from the wounds of others. God mold me unto your character. Guide me in your ways. God rather than all of this your will be done. I am nothing and you truly are everything. All that I wish could not even compare to a day in your plan. My wants and needs are secondary to the great love of Christ. Keep this strong within my bones. Let my will fade from this place. let my heart beat with unison to your song. Let my eyes shine with the glory of a risen king. Let me feet travel to the whisper of your love. Let my ears follow the proclomation of your will. Let me follow you sad and rag covered as I am. I deserve nothing from you, I do not ask out of belief that I should recieve. Rather I ask because you are God. I ask because you have stired in my heart the hope of salvation, salvation from self and this world. I ask because I believe. I ask because there is nothing else I can do. I am completely at your mercy there is nothing else I can do but bow and submit my requests. Do not forsake me the wretch that I am. I will not survive. hear my cry o father. Hear my heart tear. O praise you...... take this heart Dear God... Take this heart....
