Letters to God (Margaret-Mary Osiobor)
Dearest God,
It's me again. I'm back for that super-fix You're ever willing to give
those of us sinful creatures who believe in You, and who, by very
little virtue of our own strength compared to Your immense grace,
still maintain a relationship with You.
Hope You've been good since we last spoke? I believe You most
definitely have, seeing that You're infinitely good.
Sadly, I can't say the same about myself. I have continuously and
consciously drifted away from the person I desire to be. I have
basically let down my defences, and exposed myself to the damning
consequences of letting worldly pleasures choke my heart. And this
brings me to that 'Super-fix' I mentioned earlier on.
Crossing over into this new year was particularly different from that
of the previous years - I was filled with so many uncertainties as to
how the year will turn out. I later realised that the uncertainty was
just a function of the less than acceptable state-of-affairs between
us.
Lord, I am not going to bug you by suggesting possible ways by which
You can fix this problem, in fact it's quite obvious that You are
responsible for stopping me in my tracks before the deterioration
worsened to a point where self-hatred would seem to be the only
option.
So it is with a troubled heart that I come to You today. It has become
obvious to me that I cannot continue this way, and that I need your
help, Lord. Please rescue me from this deep abyss I banished myself
to, and make me once again experience the joy of being at peace with
You.
Lord, this is all I need from You now - peace of mind and a
reassurance that all will be well and that You'll always have my back;
then, I believe that things will start looking up. They must.
With gratitude,
Margaret-Mary
P.S: And for that other thing I know You know I'm looking to you for,
I believe it is a testimony in the making.
Thanks for sharing, MAggie

Stay Younique...
