Dear God,
I was hiking my dogs yesterday. And as I looked out and saw your beautiful creation reflecting in the golden sunlight just before sundown, I asked you a question. “Did you know that I love you?” Your answer was a simple one. “Yes. And I love you.” That answer was amazing to me as I tried to think of it in its immensity. The creator of all things knows that I love him. And in return loves me.
This love is not complacent, but is demonstrated in how you express it to me everyday. You shelter me with it, encourage me with it, and show me kindness with it. There is nothing I can do that will cause you to take your love away. You love me in so many ways that I can’t even begin to understand.
Please seek no further for someone to pour out your love on. Please choose me. But like a small cup floating on a large ocean, I cannot be filled up with much of you before it runs down my sides. Will you expand me so I can catch more? I am a lump of clay and you are the skilled craftsman. Shape me into a larger vessel, so I can catch more of you.
I so desire you that I am frustrated. I feel like a lover who has been separated from his newlywed wife. I feel incomplete and eager to find my love. No sweet words will calm me; nothing in the universe will replace her. I get letters in the mail from her, which helps to feed my appetite. But once the letter is consumed, my thirst returns. Even if something succeeds in distracting me, at the end of the day my bones still burn for my love.
The time is right, you are sending me into the world to share your love. Don’t send me empty because I will die. My love for others is directly related to my love for you. Because I love you, I love others.
I would rather die than loose your love. I would rather endure torture than loose your love. I would rather suffer the imagination of the most twisted, perverted person to have ever walked the face of the earth than to loose your love.
You are the center of my life. Every decision I make is based on you. Every breath I take is because of you. I need you more than I need a heartbeat. You are my life. The more of you I find, the more life I have.
I have tasted you, and know you to be good. All other concoctions the earth has to offer don’t even compare to you. Where else can I go to find something as fulfilling as your love?
I don’t know what else to say. My words are useless compared to the desire I have for you my love.
