Love Letter to Jesus

I hadn't met my husband when he was in service the first time, but when he was called back into the Navy for the Korean War, we wrote letters to each other almost every day. It was the only way we had to communicate and to keep our love glowing. For years I kept his letters in a trunk because they were so dear to me.

Since Valentine Day is fast approaching, I wanted to share with you a love letter to Jesus. I've been writing letters to Him for several months. Through my letters He has become more real to me. I have drawn closer to Him than I ever dreamed possible. I invite you to express your love by writing a letter to Him. It will bless Him and you, too. There's something about putting it in writing that focuses your thoughts and attention like nothing else.



O Jesus, precious One,

Before I even got out of bed this morning, I began writing to you in my thoughts. You are the Light of my life.  Daily, I walk in the light of your presence. I see your light in others and we are drawn to each other. We find fellowship together in the light of your love. You are de-light-full, and I love you dearly. I’m so glad you love me with an unchanging love. I don’t have to work to please you. How I look doesn’t matter. Your love is a steady flame, a warm fire, and I bask in its glow. Just to sit in your presence is a treat. It’s comfortable, but also refreshing and rewarding. You daily load me with benefits. How fortunate and blessed I am to know you, my King and my Lord.

Yours always,

Katy

We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. I John 4:16 NLT
