Dear God
I am on my knees
asking you please
to hear my tears.
For I have sinned against you.
My dear child
I love you. My son Jesus died for you not because you deserve it but because I ordained it. You come from my heart and I want you to return to my heart. Whatever you have done confess it now.
Dear God
I was angry
My dear child
I know I heard you.
Dear God
I cannot forgive the person who hurt me.
My dear child
Forgiveness is divine.
Dear God
I want to punish the person who hurt me.
My dear child
Your reaction is human.
Dear God
This pain is tearing me apart.
My dear child
Look at my son, at his whipped body, torn apart by anger and fear. Watch him as he drags his cross (the sins of man) to his death. Glance if you can at his distorted frame that hangs on the wood. Hold his stare for a moment and see the love in his eyes for you.
He died for your anger, your hurts, your unforgiveness, your revenge. He took your sins and suffered for you.
His words 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do' were for you.
You are forgiven. My grace says so.
My arms are open to you always.
Now go and make peace with yourself and your family.
Pray for divine forgiveness to enter your heart and ponder my words daily.
I love you my child.
Dear God
Thank you for your mercy and grace. I am not worthy but by the blood poured out for me by the lamb I will do my best to worship you and lead a better life.
Amen.
John 15:13
There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
My dear child
You are my friend, now be a friend to others as I have shown you.
Dear God
Thank you.
