Dear God

Dear God,


It’s me your wonderfully made daughter. How are you today? How has the day been with us humans? I can’t imagine how many rants you have heard in the last hour. How many curses, cries, blames…? I’m trying to imagine how your typical day looks like; thinking about it alone is so overwhelming.

I’m imagining how those of us on GMT+1 time zone crowd your day with prayers and requests and all, and just when you should take a bit of rest the people on the GMT-11 time zone are awake and you get to listen to another round of prayers…and cries, requests etc. It just goes on and on, it never stops. You get no time to doze or even sleep like we all do. Yet you are ever alert .I guess GODS with capital Gs don’t sleep…that’s what your word says.

I was about to start mumbling into your ears like I do when I don’t understand what’s going on with life when a thought came to me and it stopped me in my tracks. I’m kinda imagining what it felt like when one-third of your angels planned a coup against you, now that is hurt with a capital H.I guess I’ll never know how you felt but if its anything like I feel when I’m hurt then it must hurt real bad. But then you are GOD…Gods must feel different, I think?

After this thought, I don’t think I wanna rant again. I’m just going to sit and give you credit God, You do a great job. With all our frailties and imperfections and the way we hurt you, you still care for us.

You love us so much you even sent your son to die for us. What love could be greater than that? I’m imagining… if I’m God, Of course my “patience metre” will read zero by now. I would probably have destroyed the whole of mankind. May be; just may be the earth will be filled only with birds, fishes and animals with little or no human being.

So today God, I want to take some time to appreciate you. For your love, your grace, your mercies. You’ve been everything. You’ve been my love, my rock, my pillow on sleepy nights, and the shoulder I cry on, on crappy days. You’ve been the hug that kept me warm when the world became too cold for me; you’ve been the sunlight that shines on my face, the stars in my night. You make my cloudy skies blue; you’ve been the wind that caresses my face with its whispers. You’ve been all that and much more.

And so God, even though I don’t always understand your thoughts and ways towards me. I’ll still choose you...I’ll choose you over and over again.

Grateful,
Dayor


P.S: You could leave a message of gratitude to God in the comment section, I’m sure he wants to read one from you

  4. Dear God,

    Today I won't ask you for anything. Today I want to thank you for tolerating me. I want to thank you for not heeding to my demands but letting your own will be done in my life. Not my will. Not the world's will. Not the will of my mother or the will of my peer's but your will.

    Sincerely grateful child :)

  13. A heart-felt letter to our Heavenly father....i can relate with this so much.
    YES! i will choose HIM over and over again, though i might not understand HIS ways which are different from ours, just as the earth is far from the sky, HE is my CREATOR and MY CONFIDANT.

  18. I know I complain and ask a lot, I need to learn to be more grateful for all the little things. This was so inspiring

  19. Awesome! God is more than wonderful. I wonder how He is able to endure constant pain without any complaint. It appears to me that God is not man. He could have killed us all or wipe us off when we acted cruelly but His compassion, not willing that any should perish, has kept us.
    This missive to God sounds a warning to everyone of us. Let us make right our ways since we don't know when God will call us home. It could be sudden like a thief at night. Let's make straight our ways. He who has a ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Church.

  20. reading this just makes me realise how selfish i am. everytime i ask for things, i rant and rave. I ask why me? Instead of being grateful. I should start telling God thank you for all that he has done for me: waking up everyday healthy, wonderful husband, wonderful family and friends, great ideas etc. I just repent and say Thank you Lord for everything. Being God isn't easy at all. God is good. www.secretlilies.blogspot.com

  22. Thank you Lord for being ...
    my strong tower - I run to you; my refuse in times of storm; my counselor in times of confusion; my instructor and guide when I am lost; My light in the middle of the tunnel; my song in the puddle of tears; my salvation for I surely would have perished had you not saved me; my home - I feel so comfortable in your presence; my plum line to keep me on the straight path; my rain when my heart is scorched; my shoes to carry me across the field of land mines; my story - without you there would be no happy ending; for being my everything...in you, I have everything I need ....I just come to worship you today for all you are and always have been for me and I just praise you and thank you for giving me family!

    I love you with all my heart and soul and mind, Lord
    search me, O Lord, to see if there be any wicked way in me. Rip from me...anything that doesn't carry your approved signature. I want to learn more and more of YOU. To be wholly yours...for You are my whole sky!

    I love you, Lord...my Beloved,

    your warrior bride in boots
