My Lord,

Just this past 24 hours, I've spoken to so many who need your healing.  Lord, deep breath...

Why won't we let you love us?  I know my reasons why.  I know that in my ignorance and sin, that I was separated from you.  Because of my past beliefs, pain and desire to be loved and wanted by someone; anyone... I chose to live "my" life in a survival mode.  Completely unknown to me that one day it would all come crumbling down.

Unknown during that time that there was no me without you.  I was never designed to go "it" alone.  I was never going to find myself or the love I was so desperately seeking without You.  And after finally submitting and surrendering my brokenness to you, I have what I've always desired and so much more.  Now, in that love, your love, I want others to know, feel, trust and believe that it is all we need.

This world, in all its so called freedom to have, be and achieve is so meaningless.  We are walking in pain, all disguised as humans.  Most looking fine, dressed to the nine and causing our children to follow suit.  If only, we would take off the mask, reveal our flaws, weaknesses and allow you, your death on the cross, to have the significance it so deserves.  The ultimate sacrifice and great exchange of turning over our mess at the cross and leaving it there.  Picking up in return, your gift of salvation, no condemnation and the light of righteousness.

But first, we have to believe.  Believe in YOU and believe in your word.  That you are the way, the truth and the life.  That you do love us unconditionally, and that we are your treasure.  And that nothing can separate us from the LOVE of Christ Jesus. Not even Satan.

Eternally yours
