Although there are no human words to express my gratitude for what Christ has done for me, my heart’s desire is to capture the essence of my gratefulness in my prayers and letters to Him. I wrote this letter to Jesus in 2009 as my pledge of love to Him and my commitment to trust Him in every area of my life.
Dear Jesus,
I love You with all of my heart and soul. I love You more than the very breath You give me. Every step I take—I take for You. You excite me. You make my heart sing and dance. You make me happy. You make me want to leap and jump and skip. You make me feel like a little girl. You make me want to wake up every day and look for You.
I feel You with me. I know You’re beside me. I feel Your angels everywhere I go. There’s this amazing covering You have placed over me. Sometimes I feel Your presence so strongly that I almost think I can touch You. I am grateful.
I am amazed at your love for me. You relentlessly follow me and show me Your beauty. The joy you have placed in my heart is so overpowering that I cannot contain it at times.
I am overwhelmed by your love. I need You, my Lord, more than anything else and I praise and honor You for the ways You chase me with Your love. In every area I have been deprived in, You have given me an abundance of blessing.
Lord, I don’t want to ever doubt You again. Forgive me for taking so many years to get to this place of trust. I am thankful that I have fully accepted the gift of You and Your love. Help me to continually stay in this place of trust.
I am Yours always…no one can ever take me away from You. Your love permeates my heart. Your love lifts me high. Your love makes my life beautiful. How can I repay You for Your love for me?
Yours forever and always,
Amy

I’m linking up for Five Minute Friday where Lisa Jo Baker and other awesome people write for five minutes flat with no self critiquing or no striving for perfection. This week’s prompt is: “Grateful.”
Amy, what a beautiful letter! And thanks for reminding me of the word “inexpressibly.” I wanted something to use in front of “grateful” and it just would not come. Sigh… Anyway, I love what you’re doing here on your blog and I love your simple yellow home. I’m just a couple of folks behind you at FMF and dropped to say hello and God bless!
Thank you, Sherrey, for stopping by and for leaving such a kind comment about my FMF post, my blog, and my home. God bless you as well! 🌻
What a beautiful post and so much to be grateful for! I love your blog and am so excited to be here!
I’m so happy you stopped by my blog, Darla, and thank you for your sweet words. Have a blessed weekend! 🌻
