My Love Letter to God for Valentine's Day

February 14, 2012

Holy and Forgiving Father,

I may not know everything about You, but I am trying to learn. I am becoming familiar with Your ways. Thank You for creating me in Your image. Thank You for writing my name in Your book. I am sorry that I misrepresented You because I didn’t know You. I know now, You are the complete expression of love and it is my only desire to worship You. Thank You for every gift You have provided to me from Your own hand. I know now You will meet all of my needs and Your plan for my future is filled with hope. I stand in awe of Your countless thoughts toward me. I think of You continuously too! I praise You with singing.

Thank You for calling me Your treasured child. With all my heart and all my soul, I desire to establish a relationship with Your only Son, Jesus Christ. I want to make You proud. I adore You with all my heart and have found delight in You. You have done more for me than I could possibly imagine and have been my greatest encourager. You have comforted me in all my troubles. When I was brokenhearted, You drew me near. You dried the tears from my eyes and healed my pain.

Holy Bible

Thank you Father for loving me as You love Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for not counting my sins. I would give up everything as I return Your love. I have received the gift of Your son Jesus- nothing will ever separate me from Your love again. I wait in joyful hope of going home to You. I love you God!

Love,

Your daughter, Donna

My Son's Note, John 3:16-17

John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (NKJV)

          

One of my favorite special moments with God over the past year involved a simple, yet profound confirmation I unexpectedly received one day. God spoke to my heart through a simple handwritten love note.

My Son's Love Note

            One day, I sat at my writing desk and placed my bible in front of me, I began to reflect on the happenings from the week prior. I had been experiencing a new hardship in the relationship with my oldest son. He had begun to distance himself from me. Now, I was having a hard time reaching his heart with God’s Word.  Rather than see his behavior as a normal desire to fit into the world, I became overly critical of my own behavior and actions. I wondered, “Is he feeling judged by me again? Is that the reason, he is keeping his distance?” For some reason, I was allowing doubt and fear to enter my heart. Then, just before I opened my bible, I questioned, “Lord, have I even led anyone to Your side lately?”

       Then, tearfully I opened my bible. As God would have it, just then, my eyes caught sight of a handwritten love note from my loving and tender six-year-old child. With all my might, I tried to remember the moment he handed me this small token of his affection. Yet, no memory came to mind. So, wiping the tears from my eyes, I began to read the note.  "I love you. Thank you for teaching me about God and Jesus Christ and you are pretty."  Amazing! I bowed my head and prayed, “Thank You Lord for making me an instrument of Your Holy Name!”
