Love Letters


 I sent you a love letter
 

Dear Friend,

I sent you a love letter
I know it didn't come in the expected package

It wasn't wrapped up in a bow
It didn't sit under a tree

I decided that the best love letter
I could send would be one that looked like you

Well, not exactly like you
The love letter did have a human shape

The love letter cried and cooed
Grew to be a man

Like you got tired and hungry
and angry and worried

He was my love letter to you
He showed you a new way to life

He gave the gift of himself
He died on a cross
He rose again

He lives in your heart
A love letter from me to you

But you have to open it everyday

Love,

The Heavenly Father

 Leaning Back
 

Today, Eternal God,
I lean back into you.

I let go and let myself fall
Into your great presence.

Deeper and deeper
I descend into your strength.

Experiencing your abundance
Of energy, peace and comfort.

O, the peace that arises
In my soul.

Deeper and deeper
I fall into your mercy

Finding peace beyond words
Finding joy beyond description.

 A prayer for fearful hearts
 

Dear God,

My heart is afraid. I am afraid that I will not have enough money for my bills. I am afraid that there will not be enough money to take care of all my needs. O God, you know my fearful heart. I want some peace in my life. Grant me peace. AMEN

 Are you anxious about the future?
 

Dear Friend,

I see the headlines you are reading -
"The job market is falling"
"The recession is real"
"The housing market crashed"
"Prices are going up!"

I see the fear in your eyes
I hear the tremor in your voice
I feel your heart beating harder
I catch you looking into space
wondering about what is next

Your fears are real
Your concerns are valid
Your trembling is rooted in what you read and see.

However, I have other headlines for you to read
"Fear not, for I will not abandon you"
"Come to me, you who are weary and tired"
"I care for the flowers, I will care for you"
"Cast your cares on me for I care for you"

You can read your newspaper's headlines

Or

You can read my headlines

It is your choice.

Your Friend, Jesus
