Dear Jesus.

A love letter to my Savior and Friend.

Dear Jesus,

There will never, ever be enough words to describe how good You are but let this letter be a start.

Thank You for forgiving me and always welcoming me back into Your precious presence after I have failed so many times. Thank You for being my shield, my fortress, my rock. Thank You for quieting me with Your love when my thoughts begin to yell and my heart starts to race.

And thank You, Father, for dying the death that I deserve. You took my place upon that cursed tree, the weight of the world upon Your holy shoulders.

Let every word I write, every verse I sing, and everything I do be for Your glory. Jesus, I want nothing but You.

Time after time, day after day, year after year, You have proven Your faithfulness. I have fallen short countless times, and yet You always welcome me back. Your unending love leaves me utterly speechless, and I could live my whole life just trying to find the words to explain Your goodness. You are all I need, all I want, all I desire. Jesus, You are my everything.

I remember when I first tasted of Your goodness. What a beautiful day that was. I tugged on the hem of Your garment, and You turned and took my hand. You carried me through the trials, the hurt, the pain, the storms, and You never once dropped me. Your warm embrace melted my cold, bitter heart, and filled my restless soul with peace.

I get to walk through this life holding Your hand, and one day, I will gaze into Your eyes. I will step into the gates of glory - dance on golden streets. I will bask in Your presence and soak in the love that I have dreamed of and felt ever since the day I gave my heart to You.

I praise You, Jesus. You are my Savior, my King, my Father, my Friend. I am nothing but a vessel, and I pray that You would use me, and give me boldness to do what You are calling me to. A life lived for You is more fulfilling than anything this world pretends to promise. In Your presence there is fullness of joy, and life everlasting.

Every breath I draw is a blessing, and a whisper of Your goodness.

I am absolutely nothing without You, God.

I love You more than anything.

- Sincerely, a sinner washed in the precious blood of Christ
