A note to Jesus
Sounds simple right? I was a bit afraid to post this one, for fear of what people might think, but once again, I'm stepping outside my comfort zone, not for me, but for Him.
I'm not totally sure what view or opinion on Jesus anyone who might read this has, but this is mine...
Jesus,
There are so many things I could write here about what I really appreciate about you. How you saved me from the suffering in hell that I had coming, how you sacrificed yourself on the cross for me so that I may one day spend eternity in heaven with You and God, how when I turned my back on you that you never turned your back on me, just to name a few. I appreciate those so very much, but something I really want to elaborate on, is your capacity for forgiveness, and your unfailing love.
I struggle to understand sometimes how a love like yours is possible. We are totally unworthy of it, we as humans hurt one another, destroy the world You have given to us, defy You in just about every way we can come up with, but even after all of that, you still love us, no matter what we have done, and wait for us to come to you. I think in my own life how good I can be at forgiveness and love, and how even when I'm trying my best, I can't even get over certain things between me and other people, or always bring myself to love my own family sometimes.
But even though my ability to do those things will never, ever, be even in the same universe with Yours, it still gives me hope, and something to aim for, and if I can show those around me the most nanoscopic reflection of the love and forgiveness you show to us, then I would be thankful beyond belief.
Thank you Jesus
