A Letter to Jesus

Dear Jesus,

It's me again, your dear and loving, faithful friend. 

Wait...that's a laugh, because it's not true. We both know that the last person I'd call is you. 

I wanted to tell you about my life, all my pain, my troubles, my strife. 

I've left you out of everything then wondered why my life's a mess, if only I had trusted you I could have saved myself much needless stress. 

I've lived my life just for me not thinking about the casualties then turned my head so I couldn't see that I had caused this misery. The old, the meek, the weary, and mild they weren't my problem, I was living free and wild!

To those I've hurt and wounded most, I have no right to brag or boast.
My heart was broken and in need of attention. I was at rock bottom, in case I didn't mention. 

I followed people and ignored your calling but you knew all along that I was  stalling. My heart was yours from the very beginning regardless of all my failures and my constant sinning.

You loved me even when I was lost and your patience with me did not exhaust. How did you ever love someone like me who cursed your name so hatefully?

Jesus, I don't know where to start, but I ask you now to come into my heart. Make me clean and just and holy and send the Holy Spirit to console me.

Help me now as I grow to seek Your face wherever I go. Help me be humble, and quiet and still and most of all to do Your will.

I love you Jesus, now it is true. I give my life willingly to you.

I close this letter much differently than I started, because my old life has now departed. I thank you now for not letting me go, for saving my life, and making me whole. 

You are my Savior and there is no end. From Your dear and loving faithful friend, 

Me.

Think about it!

Have you come to the place in your spiritual life that you know for certain if you were to die today that you would go to Heaven? If you did die today and stand before God and He were to ask you "Why should I let you into my Heaven?" what would you say?
