I
am Marjorie McCombs, age 7, and I just wanted to say: I love Jesus
for
Him dying on the cross for us, everybody that follows Jesus. I love
Jesus for Him making the world and making all things that live around
us. I just say why I love Him, He's my Saviour. He made me, He made
you and me. He will help us if we're sick, Jesus loves us. He loves
things that we don't know about, the creatures we don't know about
yet.
Jesus is love. Amen
Dear
Sweet Jesus
I felt that I would write you a love letter because I love you so
very much with all of my heart, mind, and soul. You are so beautiful
Lord. Thank you for everything that you have been doing for me and
what you will be doing for me. You are very special to me Lord.
I have a lot of love for you . I think of you all the time. Thank
you so much for your beautiful love Lord. I really do love feeling
your presence. You died on the cross for me Lord because you love
me so very much and I thank you for your love and I know you really
do care a great deal for me. I care a great deal for you too and
I love you so very much. Lord, between you and I, we will not let
anything come in between us. The enemy tried to tear us apart the
other day but it didn't work because we both will not allow it to
happen. You are mine and I am yours forever and nothing can stop
that. Oh Lord how I love you. I cannot stop saying I love you because
I really do.
Love
Brenda
Dear
Heavenly Father,
I just wanted to let you know how much I love You on today. I am
so blessed to have You in my life. Thank You for being that rock
when I needed one. Thank You for being my everything. Words can
never express just how much I love You. I will continue to give
You all of the praises and all of the glory forever and ever. When
the time comes when You decide that my work on this earth is over,
it would be my honor to sing to You, "GLORY GLORY GLORY FOR
YOU ALONE IS WORTHY"
Forever and ever and ever. HALLELUJAH!!
Thank You Father,
Your Servant and Baby Girl,
Candace

Love
Shaniqua
Lord
I
thank you for blessing me every day and for the miracles you've
brought to my life. The peace and hope.
Thank
you for a sober household. Thank you for meaning it when you said
"Love endures all things." It does. You restored my relationship
with my ex. We are a family again and getting remarried.
Just the other day, I got a tremendous weight off my shoulders.
I confessed something I wasn't exactly proud of to my partner.
And
his response was "Nothing anybody could say could make him
not want to be with me." What a tremendous relief and I cried
tears of relief and joy. Something I'd been holding inside for almost
2 years.
Also, a very dear friendship has been restored. And I am so grateful.
I missed her.
Thank you, can't thank you enough.
Love Laurie
Dearest
Jesus,
Thank
you seems such a hollow phrase and I love you seems equally inadequate,
but thanks and love are all I have to place into your hands, those
beautiful pierced hands.
I
am earning my Masters in Educational Technology here at Pepperdine
University, and one of my projects consists of sending a letter
to a “hero” in my life: a person who has taught me and inspired
me- and I immediately thought of you.
Even
though I have run away from you, hidden from you, struck out on
my own, thinking I could do it without you, and, at times, even
denied that I knew you, I knew you were there, waiting patiently,
sorrowing at some of my choices, and protecting me when I chose
very scary paths. When I think of all the crazy situations I placed
myself in, and how these situations could have spiraled out of control,
and how I could have gotten really hurt, and how I seemed to escape
with only minimal damage, I can only look back and see that you
were right there, with your strong right arm, fending off the bad
guys, stopping the rocks and arrows, keeping me from running off
the cliffs I couldn’t see for myself.
I
know I have resisted your love, held back from accepting your invitation,
looked for loopholes and excuses, but I am tired of running, tired
of doing it alone, tired of myself. You have taught me that self
is not the answer, that self is a big heavy stone we lug around
with us, that self only gets in the way, that self will only drag
us down and never lift us up.
You
have taught me that there is freedom in slavery, power in service,
reward in giving, and joy in suffering. Your precious words teach
me in powerful little stories and gentle humor. I can go back again
and again to your words and find something new each time, something
necessary about my life, something I need at that very moment to
show me the way, lift my spirits, and give me the strength to carry
on.
Your
life has taught me that a true King is the true Servant. In your
dealings with your Disciples, the crowds, and the religious elite,
you have taught me that a system is only as good as the spirit that
informs and innervates it. You have taught me that the best evangel
is to be the best example. You have taught me that there are a few
simple truths and that following these few simple truths cut through
the fog of our cluttered everyday lives and show us to each other
as scared souls hiding inside angry faces, yearning to reach out
and touch and be touched in return.
Thank
you Lord,
Meghan E. A. O’Leary
My
precious precious Father,
I want to take
this opportunity to thank you, Jesus, for all that you have
done for me. You protected me even before I knew you. I think back
dear Lord on how I used to call it "luck" when I would
wake up the morning after drinking and partying in the clubs and
wonder how on earth I ever made it home safe. I apologize to you
Lord, for not acknowledging that it was only by your grace! Thank
you Jesus that when I got so drunk, I didn't know my name and I
would bring strange men into my home, no harm ever came to me other
that giving myself a bad reputation.
Thank
you Lord that others now look at me and see a change and know that
I am not that drunk, crazy and sleezy person that I once was. When
I was molested, I was so angry at you, Jesus. I knew youexisted,
but I just did not know you were loving and merciful. I thought
that you hated me. Thank you for letting me realize that all that
happened to me in my past was ultimately to bring you glory. I thank
you for my past as it gives me the chance to bring those suffering
as I once did to you. I lay my past at your feet, Jesus, for you
to use as you will. I only ask that you let me see those that are
hurting and that you give me the words to say to them to ease their
pain. I thank you for saving me, Jesus when no one else could. When
my family turned their backs on me, you showed me so much love and
you brought people into my life to encourage me and to love me.
If all I have is you, then that is all right with me because you
are my strength, my joy and my peace and you are so much more.
Thank
you for your forgiveness, your grace and your mercy. Thank you for
my ministry. If it were not for you, I would be nothing. You died
for me even though you knew I would spend years of my life denying
you and grieving your heart and for that I can never thank you enough!
I long for the day that I am able to sit at your feet, but for now
I thank you for the words that you say to me and for guiding me
along this life's journey.
Thank
you for letting me feel your presense even now! I love you Jesus
and I place you above all else in my life. I desire to please you,
Jesus more than I desire to do anything else! I am simply yours
to use as you will! You are my everything!
With all of my Love,
Your child
Allison
My Sweet Lord, my savior,
You are the
first one I talk to when I awake to the glorious day that you have
made for me and the last one I talk to at night before I fall asleep,
as you hold and comfort me.
I praise your
Holy name and I welcome you into my heart Jesus as I know you will
never leave me or forsake me. Oh, blessed Lord you have shown me
what unconditional love is all about and I praise your name in the
Highest. My God, you have taught me so much in Your Name, forgiveness,
humility, love and so much more.
You above all
have seen me at my worst and never turned your back or stopped loving
me no matter how foul I became. You saw the good in me and knew
that one day I would accept this love you offer to me so freely,
even though I was not worthy. You knew Lord, you knew me, you knew
that I would return to you. You knew that I would accept, understand
and return this love to you my KING!
My precious
Jesus, my heart breaks that I waited so long to accept this wonderful
gift of love that you offer me and to let you lead me to do your
will.
I will never
turn from you again, I love you my precious Lord. Please accept
this letter of love and devotion that I offer you. I will never
stop Praising your name, I will never let Satan into my life again.
I love you Lord and will minister to all that I meet.
Sorry sisters, but I really can't do much
more .... I am so overwhelmed that the words won't come, only tears.
I love our Lord so much ... that when I write about it my mascara
gets in my eyes... lol ... sorry

To have
a friend, is one of life's greatest pleasures....To have a friend,
who will lift you up in prayer, is one of life's greatest treasures.
My
Lord and My God,
I thank You
and praise You for saving a wrench like me. I once was lost but
now I'm found, was blind but now I see.
I am so undeserving
of Your love and forgiveness. All You asked of me is to open the
door of my heart and let You dwell there all the days of my life.
Thank You for
Your unconditional love.
Thank You for
all Your blessings bestowed on me.
Thank You for
my husband, my children, and my grandchildren who give me so much
joy.
Thank You for
speaking to me through Your Word.
Thank You for
Your Holy Spirit that guides me and shows me the way.
You are the only One who has never let me down. You are the only
One who shed blood on the cross for my sins so that I could obtain
eternal life.
In spite of
my failings and my weaknesses, You never gave up on me.
I ask You to continue to change me into what You want me to become
and to increase my faith so that I will always turn to You through
trials and tribulations.
Help me to hunger
and thirst for righteousness. Help me to see people through Your
eyes and to forgive like You have forgiven me.
Your servant,
Jan
Dear God my Father and Lord Jesus Christ:
Thank you God
the Holy Spirit for interceding for me, for interpreting and expressing
what my heart cannot do on my own.
Every day since
I first became possessed with the realization of my
salvation at age 19, I have always felt like the black sheep in
you flock Lord.
I have grown
up in the darkness of negativity and rejection, so I have always
felt guilty for just being me. I had always thought, Lord God, that
this rejection from others was caused by something wrong in me I
could not discover. Instead, Lord, I know now that it was caused
by their chosen responses, and my pain was caused by my chosen
reactions.
I
grew up feeling, Lord, that You could not love me because no one
else did, that I was defective. It is our gift from You that we
have "free will", which is both a blessing and our worst
affliction. You want a love relationship that can only be love in
its truest form if given
freely, not forced. Lord God, I have wondered in the desert for
so much of my life but You were with me always, even when I could
not see you in my self-created darkness. I have had many shining
moments, Lord, when Your Spirit broke thru and affirmed Your love
and ownership. It has been those eternal moments, Lord, that have
kept me rooted on this earth. I would not be here, Lord, without
Your affirming Love and Provision.
My
greatest fear, Lord God and Father, is to not hear those words "My
good and faithful servant". I have fallen so pitifully short
of MY expectations, I can not bear to think how short I am of Your
expectations of me. Yet, You keep loving and affirming me and lifting
me up out of my pit of failures and mistakes and guilt. Lord God
and Father, I love you so much with a heart that has not been trained
in the expression of such love.
So I keep it
inside like a flood wanting release. Lord, You know my heart better
than I ever could. Help me Lord to love You the way You deserve
to be loved. You know I can not do this on my own power. Nothing
in my power is of any use or worth - I know this, Lord.
Everything good and pure and righteous comes from you.
This
flesh struggles to understand the fullness of Your perfect love.
It is so incomprehensible!! Lord God and Father, for my soul's sake
and for Your honor and glory, please allow this vessel to be used
to serve You and to please You. I know with all my heart that You
will never forsake me, Lord God, and that this is Your Will for
me. Let it be so, Lord, I beg You. Let me stand before You and not
be ashamed. Let me have crowns to lay at Your feet, and may I feel
the full measure of Your love and acceptance. I pray this with the
help of God the Holy Spirit, thru the name of my Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen
Your daughter,
Esthersue
Lord I want
to lift your name on High! As I was listening to some wonderful
Christian music, the power of our Lords love just came rushing over
me. What a glorious feeling that is. There is no other one that
can satisfy my love but for Jesus.
So many times
we think that God has left us. NO, I have to say, HE will never
leave us. Satan tries his best to make us loose our faith and site
of our Lord, who loves us so..
Thank
you Jesus!! for that wondrous love!!
Jesus
will always be there. Oh Praise Jesus!! Thank you Lord! You are
almighty and exalted on High!! Hallelujah, He is my Savior! My Love
and my God! As tears of joy is flooding my soul, I can truly say
that Jesus has blessed me just by loving this wretch that I am.
I do not deserve the Love that you have shown me Lord, but you have
shown your love, Ohhhh so many, many times.. I Praise You! Honor
You! Love You! and only want to worship You, my Lord! Let me seek
Your face oh Lord, so I can feel that wondrous love you have for
me.
Oh
people, CAN you feel His love, WHAT GLORIOUS
LOVE!!!
I
bow down in humble adoration Lord and kiss you loving feet, Oh Lord,
how you suffered for me and saved me from this wretched life. Lord,
I just can't tell you enough how much I love you. I lift you name
on high. Oh Jesus I love you, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus...Praise
you Lord, Praise you Lord!
Your
humble servant,
Debbie
Good
morning Lord Jesus,
Thank you for
another day, I will try my best to serve you well.
You sent me here to this earth for a purpose, you forgot to tell
me what my purpose was, over the years I have had stumbling blocks
placed before me, you did not inform me when you sent me here that
I would encounter these obstacles.
You did show me that you were with me every step of the way and
for this I am truly grateful.
It saddens my
heart to see so many people lost and confused in life and not knowing
which way to turn, I am trying to reach out to the lost, somehow
Lord there are few that hear the WORD in which is being sent to
them. I know that you will provide the way for me to share your
unconditional love and kindness with them. You are my rock and salvation
and to you only will I give my soul to.
You have placed
your hands of mercy on my life so many many times Lord and brought
me out from the pits of Satan's hands. Thank You Jesus! for never
leaving me!Thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed upon
my life, my children and grand children, my home that has sheltered
me from the destruction of the world.
"Jesus
Loves Me" is what I was taught many years ago and you know
what, those who taught me were right Lord, thank you for giving
unto me those spiritual ancestors which iunfluenced in my childhood
life, I know there are so many that do not have the same opportunities
that you placed in my life, and I ask that you touch their hearts
and open their eyes to the truth of your Love and Mercy.
I thank you
for sacrificing your life at Calvary to save me of the countless
number of sins I have committed throughout my years on this earth,
I ask you forgiveness of them all.I see you cry as the world continues
to turn to self destruction because, all is not right with the world,
I do not know what it is that you would like for me to do, I am
only one person Jesus, and I know that at this point in life you
are the only one that can cure all the evil in the world, it has
gotten so out of hand that the people who are working for you grow
tired in the fight, how very tired you must have been at the point
in your life that you were crucified for the sins of the world,
I know I could not have withstood the agonizing pain and suffering
you went through for ALL the world, I am sorry Jesus that the world
has become so corrupt and selfish and selfless, direct me in the
way I should go Lord to help bring the world to understanding of
your greatness.
The good shall
outweigh the bad, and I have found this to be true in many instances
of my life, how should we as your children continue our journey
if we find ourselves weak against Satan's evil that he places before
us? I know my faith is strong in you and I love you very deeply
for all you have done for me and given unto me.
I can only pray
that you continue to grant me the strength within to fight the foe
of this worldly existance in which you placed me as a helpless human
being. Glory be to your Father in his victory over Satan.
I am a sinner Lord, I try to be an example of your greatness and
fall short of your Glory, being human has done this to me, I know
that you are a forgiving God and you forgive me of the sins I commit
everyday even though they are small sins they are still sin, when
I ask for your forgiveness you know the sincerity of my heart and
you forgive.
If you were
here in the flesh with me, I know that my walk would be a
smoother one to endure, One of our fleshly characteristics is finding
it hard to beleive in something that cannot be seen and walking
in Faith at times is a very difficult task for ALL of us. I know
that those of your time who were given the opportunity to walk with
you in the flesh had a difficult time, for they were chastised and
had a very hard path to follow, today the path is on FAITH alone
and when Satan steps in and temps our faith it is difficult to know
which is the right path to take and without your guidance and unconditional
love all would be lost in my life. There are no words to express
my gratitude to you and my love for you, no matter how hard I try.
You know that
I love you and that I am yours to do with what you wish.You are
my morning sunrise Lord, the highlight of my day spent with you,
and my evening sunset, you are my starlit night, you are the chirpping
of the birds I feed, you are the light in my candle of the darkness,
you are ALL which surrounds my being, your are my strength when
I am weak, my voice when one abuses, you are the cloths which keeps
me warm when it is cold, you are so much to my life that I could
not survive without you being a part of my life. You are the sparkle
in my children and grand childrens eyes, the very HOPE of my existance
and the PROMISE of my life ETERNAL, to you Jesus I am eternally
grateful for ALL things and teachings in which you have given unto
me.
I LOVE YOU TODAY AND ALWAYS!
Heatfelt Love from your daughter,
Gloria Sherwood
Dear
Jesus,
All my life
Ihad searched for a sense of purpose for my very existance.
I had tried to fill my life with physical pleasures and spiritual
hokus pokus.
My life had no meaning, no direction, No color. NO YOU.
I fell in and
out of love, never even knowing what true love was.
Then one day, you turned up in my life and I saw for the very first
time what true love realy is. I saw you in someone else and I knew
that you were the only one for me.
How wonderful
to be loved by you first. You loved me before I even knew you were
real.
How wonderful
to be admired and longed for by you before Ieven knew that you were
looking at me.
How flattering
it is to know that you think I am beautiful to behold when my mirror
tells me differently.
I tingle from
the inside out with delight at the memory of our first meeting.
You filled me with all the feelings that were missing in my life
even though I didn't know they were missing untill you put them
there.
You fill me from the top of my head to the tips of my toes with
your love for me.
And when i think
of the terrible ordeal that you went through for ME,
I feel so LOVED.
Who else but you could ever love me enough to die for ME.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
I love to please you .
I love to make you smile.
I love to honor you.
I love to worship you.
I love to serve you.
I love to LOVE YOU.
I am your child and you are my God.
Donna
Dear
Father God,
I praise you
for another day of life and for the beauty, within the day. You
created a world that bestows so much. Sometimes, I take forgranted
the many blessings you fill our lives with. The snow was falling
last night within the darkness. The cool crisp air that lingered
there the frost upon the trees. Driving home and praying for safety
as the roads, were icy. Just in awe at the beauty of the lightly
falling snow.
Such beauty within your nature. Thank you for creating the earth
and all that is in it. Thank you for life and the beauty within
it. For even my trials and tribulations bring you glory. I thank
you for the doors that open within each opportunity, to share my
life with others, in this world. Sharing and encouraging those who
are struggling in their own ways. Bless them Father God and show
them the beauty in their life. The beauty that gets forgotten and
taken advantage of. For then, do we really see life for what it
is, to gloryify you. I thank you for the things you have shown me.
Trusting in you has opened my eyes and made me, realize that without
you, faith, hope, and charitywould not be. I praise you for the
sunrise that begins each day that we can, pray to you to start our
day in life. Thank you O Lord, for the sunset, that we can see to
pray to you, for what has happened, throughout our day. I just praise
you O Lord, for giving me life, my daughters, my husband, friends
and family. I praise you for the health that we endure through your
love for us. Thank you for giving me life. Even tho at times, depression
settles in and don't know where to turn. You O Lord, bring me up
and out of depths of despair. You fill my heart with your enduring
peace and love and comfort me, in times of tears, with your arms
wrapped around my being. I just praise you O Lord for everything.
Thank you for loving me and never leaving me nor fosaking me. I'm
sorry if I tend to forget to pray or don't come to you. Forgive
me of those sins when I neglect you. I just praise you Lord and
thank you Lord for everything!
Forgive me of my sins
In Jesus Name,
AMEN

Dear
Jesus
It's so hard for me to put into words what is in my heart but I'll
try even though I know that You know already. Lord, you have been
with me ever since I was a little girl, lonely for just a drop of
love. That special day when I was sitting in the church crying and
I asked You if you would be my friend, I was so scared that You'd
say no cause that was I got from everyone else around me. But You
didn't say no...You closed your arms around me and held me while
I cried and then I felt so warm and comfortable. And through the
years since You haven't left me even when there were times when
I forgot You were there. When things got really tough and hard,
You were there to help me over the hurdles. When I was on the brink
of totally going the wrong way You came to me and reminded me that
I was loved. You provided for me and my children when they were
hungry. You showed me where I was going wrong. And through it all
You LOVED ME! I am still amazed when I sit back and think that it's
so possible for You to love me. I haven't done any big things in
my life, I'm just little ol' me. And just when I didn't think that
I would ever be able to have someone here on earth to love me for
who I am and that I'd have to live my life all alone You brought
me the most loving husband I could ever want. You showed me that
all my attempts at looking for love were for naught. I had to wait
for Your time, for you to bring me the person You wanted for me.
You, Jesus, have blessed my life with so much joy and love that
I just can't put it all into words. But I do want you to know that
Your love is what has pulled me through everything, and You and
I know what there has been, and it has made me a better person.
I've still got a long way to go to be what You want me to be, and
it's still a struggle to be in this world, but I do know that with
You beside me I can get there. I love you Jesus with the whole of
my heart. Thankyou Jesus.
Your most loving daughter

Oh
Father in Heaven,
I thank you so dearly for being in my life even at times I may have
thought you weren't. I look back Father into the words that I read
as a child and see all the prayers you answered for me and the things
you have done in my life and it brings tears to my eyes Lord to
think of how much you love me. Oh I feel so undeserving Lord but
yet you still speak to me, you still hold me and comfort me. Father
there is so many times that I feel like you are so far away and
miss you soo much but you are here in my heart only a prayer away.
The times I feel distant I must realize that it is because you have
given me space and time to grow and learn. Oh Lord it is like I
am riding a bike for the first time...you stand back and watch as
I grow like an infant, you let me stumble so that you may lift me
up and so I may do it all over again until I get it right. Oh Father
there is no one ever comparible to you!! My life is so full of memories
Lord that you have given me and as I go back through them all it
is like looking through snapshots....there is FANTASTIC times like
the times I got to sit upon the beach and just gaze at your beauty
you had set before me, the walk in the woods looking at waterfalls,
listening to the sounds of nature....or just hearing you say "my
child I love you" and yet there was hard times too like the
times you wanted so much for me to see you but I was stubborn and
wanted to do things on my own but you let me know that you were
still there...YOU NEVER left me!! There was times that I even thought
you hadn't heard my prayers and I was sad but now I see that it
was because you loved me and I couldn't see what you could.
Father I thank you for what you have made me...I have grown so much
in your love and what you have taught me but I have soooo much growing
still to do and I couldn't imagine learning without the most wonderful
Father there is. A father who doesn't neglect us, abuse us....A
Father who Truly knows how to love us. You loved me to death Lord.....your
love has brought me to tears and may it take me to my knees with
praises Lord. Father please let my focus be on you and may I teach
my children the love you have taught me and I pray they will see
what a great Father you are.
My Love to you Father,
Your child,
Toni
Dear Jesus,
You are my breathe, my heart and my soul. You laid down your life
for me and I would love to but kiss your feet. I know that someday
I will see your loving face and you will wrap your arms around me
and comfort me and there will never again be pain. I am thankful
dear Jesus for all you have given me.
I am thankful that I can call you name outloud in the highest mountains
and not be condemned. I am thankful for that freedom. I am thankful
to you for my wonderful family at home, my sisters, brothers, my
mom, and my SING Sisters. I have learned alot. And please dont ever
let me want to quit learning...that is when I will wither. Please
let my heart continue to open and your love continue to flow.
Love

Dear
Jesus,
My life was so empty dear Jesus, until you stepped into my life.
You know what kind of life that I had Jesus from the beginning to
now.
You knew that I was a child seeking love and affection,
feeling so unloved. Because of the desperation seeking out this
love,
I was filled with hatred and bittterness toward the ones that
couldn't and wouldn't show me love. This desire of being
loved led me into a life of sin and choosing the wrong choices about
love,
ending up in more abusive relationships. I had accepted the sinful
nature of drinking and having nowhere relationships with men
that couldn't love me for me and always tried to control me in any
way that they could.
I felt so alone, that everyone left and had betrayed me probably
the way you had felt Jesus, as you hung on that cross dying.
But your heart was alive filled with that love for me that
I had been so desparately seeking and I had been so blind to see.
I wondered for sometime how you, Jesus, could love me when no
one else could or would until my eyes were opened to this love.
You gave me the strength, grace, and wisdom to remove any sin or
weight that could prevent our close relationship.
You have seen the many times that I have cried, pleaded,
and prayed for someone to love and care for me. You have seen the
times
that I wanted to end it all and the times I tried. But, you Jesus,
stepped
in to save me. I thought that you had deserted me for not letting
me die but
now I know that you loved me enough to let me live and that you
had
died for me so that I could live. You covered me with your blood
through the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension.
Jesus, you have showed me how not to hate, to envy, or show
any type of bitterness but to love them with the love of God in
my heart.
Because of you, you gave me the power to refuse to fear, doubt,
and worry. You gave me the power over all of the enemy
and that nothing can or will hurt me.
Jesus, you helped me to break the strongholds of Satan
against my emotions because I gave all my emotions to You,
Lord. I gave my will to You, Lord. You helped me break down
the strongholds of Satan against my body when I gave my body
to You. I bow down in worship and praise to you Jesus. You covered
me with your blood and I claim the protection for my family, my
home, my spirit, soul and body. I surrendered myself in
every area of my life to You, Jesus. Please let my heart continue
to be open
and your love continue to flow through me to others.
Thank
you Jesus for saving my life and loving me
as no one had ever loved me. I wouldn't have made it
without your love and forgiveness.

WHAT GOD CAN DO
Does
it really matter who or what you are,
The road you've traveled, where you had been?
Do you know that God will use you for His plan
That He will and can move you from within?
Do
you know God can help you can overcome your past
To help you rise above all of life's miseries and pain?
Do you know that with God all things are possible,
That because of Him you can be changed?
In
the deepest ocean of troubles that you swim
With Jesus all the doubts can and will be removed?
Even from the highest moutains that we climb
All you have to do is place your trust in Him?
You
will soon see the wonderful difference,
When you are soaring to greater heights
You can be changed forever, because of His grace,
When you are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ!

My
Father, I've known you for such a long time but I am always discoveringyou
'daily'..that is so fun.
Thank
you for never being boring, or distant, or distracted when I want
to gabber about everything..and it has to be just a tad boring to
you but
you're so patient with me - You never send me away from your presence.
I
remember well the day that I discovered that I not only loved you
with all my heart and soul but I liked you better than anyone I've
ever known.
You
became a personal friend to me through your precious son Jesus Christ.
Thank you in all humility for this great free gift.
You
have allowed me to be myself and to show every emotion to you -
even anger and you still hugged me to yourself with great emotion
because you felt my pain.
I
have struggled with a lot of things in my walk with you but a wonderful
day of deliverance is coming for me in this precious group of ladies
called SING.
I
am in the baby steps of learning to trust Christian Ladies. My scars
run
deep but my act of forgiving the offenders of the past has cleared
the way for you to establish mature reaction mechanisms so that
the sensitivity of the past will be a thing of the past..
Thank
you Father..I think you're so awesome and I can't wait to give you
more and more of myself.
I
know you're not letting out the secret but I think it's not going
to be
very long until I get to *run* to see you face to face.
Please
just let me accomplish to the last detail everything you have for
me to accomplish in your name..it is my delight to Praise you and
to bring Glory to your Name. I love to do your will.
With
all the love that is in this daughter's heart ..Sherry Cornett.

My
Sweet, Sweet Jesus,
Lord I love you with all of my heart.
If there were enough words in the English language that I could
say all that was in my heart Lord I would do it.
Father , You are God, You are my life,
my love, my breath and my salvation. Lord you are my friend that
sticks closer than a brother, Lord you are my husband and my provider.
Lord You are the one who picked me up from the pit and lifted my
feet on Higher Ground, You are the Lover of my soul, the love of
my life, my desire is for You and no other. Jesus You are my Bright
and Morning Star and You Lord are my Beloved.
Father I praise You for Your Son
Jesus Christ who has given me life, and love and peace and joy.
Who was willing to give His life for mine, shed His blood for all
I have ever done and Who rose again from the dead that we may be
justified in Him. Jesus if I could sing I would sing a song of love
that would belong to no other but You. There is no one, Lord no
not one who was willing or able to get into the depths of my heart
and change it to reflect Your heart. Lord Jesus You are beauty,
You are life, You are my everything. You are my reason for living,
You have bought purpose to my life, You have filled me with Your
Spirit and You Lord loved me when there was no one else to love
me. You have taken me through the valleys, You have been there on
the mountaintops, you are with me daily and there is nothing I cannot
tell you. You listen even when I can't talk, when it is just my
tears falling Your presence falls on me and reminds me You are with
me. Lord you are the song in my heart.
You are, Lord, all I could ever hope or ask for in this lifetime
and in eternity. Lord Jesus that you would love me, You know my
every thought, my every deed yet You never leave, You never give
up, You teach me with Your Word, You are my very present help in
times of trouble. You are my peace, my joy and my friend and there
is none like You. Lord Jesus how I wait to see Your face, How I
wait for You to come and take us to Your side. Lord, we would then
see the scars in Your hands and feet and in Your side.
Lord we would know just how deep
Your love is for us that nothing would keep You from that cross.
Lord you went there for me and then you went down and took the keys
from the enemy that all authority in heaven and earth would belong
to You.
Lord I worship You, I humbly thank
you with all that this body of flesh can, Lord You are my Light
in the darkness, my hope when there is no hope, You are My Lord
and My Savior and You are the love of my life. May Your name be
praised forever Lord and I wait anxiously Lord for the day to come
when every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that You
are Lord. Lord on that day You will receive all the glory and honor
and praise that is due You.
Thank You Lord for taking my place
and for being with me as I walk it out in faith now Lord and you
meet me in every place. Lord I love you and there is no other I
would choose to serve. May Your name be blessed forever and ever.
Love
your servant,
Pat
