This is for you a friend, a light in darkness, and a reminder.
You asked me once to tell you what it is that I saw in you.
so here you are my friend what I saw and still see:
You say you are cynical, I see a broken heart, the bitter waters of Marah that are tring to allow a tree to turn those waters into sweetness.
I see pain that has been replaced by peace and determination for something better.
I see a scared little boy who is afraid to embrace a lot of things (I know that's vague) but most of all he's afraid to allow someone to Love him, to love him without any other reason than just to love him.
A young man whose faith, hope and determination make me envious.
A traveler who has come to a crossroads and is waiting to hear the ever still and quiet voice of his Lord.
A Bold and Curagous man who isn't afraid of the truth and refusses to settle for anything less.
A young man learning to walk in the sandles of Christ, who isn't afraid to pick up his cross, even if he may stumble in that journay to clavery (even Jesus needed help carrying his cross... so why shouldn't we?)
A little boy who's desires for love are the desires for a daddy's love that to some extent he has yet to find.
A man who knows what it means to have true humility.
You asked for the truth and here it is this is what I saw in you and this is what i love about you, not why I love you.
to answer another question Why do I love you when you obviousley don't Love me (I know you care but the 2 are diffrent).
I love you without reason. You have done nothing to earn it, nor do you deserve it (no one deserves Love). I chose to love even if I can't always love myself, people offten precive this as a romantic love (and I've not done a good job of showing you otherwise) but it isn't and the love I have for you is the love of a good friend, a true friend, a friend that respected me enough to tell me the truth the entire truth even when I didn't want to hear it and claimed it to be hurtful (oddly for some wonds to heal they must be opened up and that is a painful process.). I love you for being honest and for reaching out and dragging me kicking and screaming from my morbid darkness. I love you for being who you are.
Friend I know I've done nothing to deserve you and I've made you miserable and caused an unnesicary burden in your already burdened life, but I want you to know that your honesty and your careing are appreciated. You reached out to me when I had honestly thought and was beging to belive that God himself wasn't there anymore.
Friend you were my Jesus when I needed him the most and although you aren't Jesus and despite our weakness you were still able to show me Christ. Thank you.
