Dear GOD

(a letter onto you)

Dear God:

It’s to you I look for everything. So now I come to you, your child
in need, with my head hung low and upon bended knees. Cause for me your
son Jesus did bleed so that my offspring and me can be free. And so I pray to
you this day, and every single day to receive your grace.
Lord you are the water for a thirsty mans’ parched lips. You knoweth
what I thinketh even before I think of it. Your eyes are not like mine so they see
the complete truth. Your presence is past, present, and future so no evil intent
our common adversary has will ever stay rooted. No false law of man will ever
subjugate your laws brought down to us from the mountain.

(for you are the only Lawgiver and only you can truly judge another)

Mankind judge for deeds and actions while you judge the heart and for life.
And whoa to the man that claims to praise you and that is boastful and proud.
I remember that you resist the proud and give grace to the humble.
So Lord I strive to be humble. I live to please you. I fear you but love you for
I know that you have my best interest at heart.

Lord everything that I am, I am because of you. Everything that I have,

I have because of you. You are like the grapevine and I am the branches.
For without the vine I am nothing. So I say onto you that I am nothing.
Your hand is placed upon the small of my back pushing me for all of the perils that
I’ve been through. Your hands are upon my shoulders guiding me when it appears
that I have lost my way. “You lead me in the path of righteousness for
your name’s sake.”

Lord I hold no grudge against no one. I try to forgive my fellow man

because you’ve forgiven me of my transgressions. It is no secret that I worship
and praise you Lord. I don’t pray in secret but I don’t go out of my way to let others
know that I’m praying either. I invite all that would pray to pray with me.
Even my mate, my lord will pray with me. And if I live long enough to bless our
world with my seeds, even the little ones under me, you’ll see will pray together
to thee. Yes I remember that a family that prays together stays together even in
spirit dear father.

... And if I should die before I wake, I pray oh dear Lord that my family should still
remain in your good grace. My father, the wicked one still runs his evil race.
I have no fear because the finale is yours, you have already gleaned the outcome
and decided his fate.

Be that as it may, you are the same today as you were yesterday and I
have no need to ponder that you will always remain the same.

(a loving father to his errant children always, yes always)

Alleluia ! For the Lord God, Omnipotent reigns as the Lord of Lords and
the King of Kings. You told me that you are the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. To you all things have begun
and has past. So you know that my love for you can last.
I shall strive to honor thy father and bring honor also to thine household,
to thy kingdom to come, to let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven and
in my heart of hearts my protector. Ye showed me a pure river and the newly
tamed wild beast of the earth layeth beside me to drink from that river
proceeding from your throne. These words are faithful and true.

You paved a narrow path full of perils for me to follow to gain access to
your kingdom and to life. The broad path paved by the other is well traveled,
brightly lit and is lined with fig trees. But the fruit although appeasing to the eye
are poisoned, the path is a false one wrought with traps. “At least you told me
that my trek would be perilous.” But the dangers are not of your making.
That Great Tempter keeps poisoned seeds beneath my feet that eventually grow
into weeds that can choke the very life from me. But your bound words are my
shield, your knowledge and teachings is my sword and I shall hack down those
troublesome evil plants and any whoremonger that eats from them to rise to do
the Evil Ones work. With your help dear Lord, I shall remain vigilant and
steadfast.

I am only a man, I am destined to err. Sometimes I will unwillingly fall

upon my stomach and dishonor myself. But Lord I pray that you help me to
stand when I need it. Please Sovereign One give me your hand as you have for
so many of your prophets and disciples. Many of them went through some type
of tribulation before and during their callings. Some where adulterers, murders
of many, blasphemous of your name, lovers of money, and yes Kings, leaders
of many. Some where imprisoned for their sins, but throughout it all, you saw
from what was within. They were forgiven of their sins.

If only I can be like those three brothers that refuse to worship anything
other than you my Lord. They were tossed into a furnace, Daniel too into a lions
den. You told us that we will be scoffed and ridiculed, but that we will also be
watched and revered. In each case you sent a protector to help in kind, to show
those hypocrites that our Lord Jehovah is kind and merciful and is vengeful
against those who would persecute his people and hinder his word.

So Lord forgive me of my sins, I’ll try to follow in Jesus’ “Footsteps in

The sand” and take the long walk even though Satan the Unraveler of all that is
woven tries to un-weave your tapestry. I am but one of your seamstress’ and will
double stitch any hole I find that the Dark One has ripped. His rage is great and
the damage even greater, but your might and love is stronger which makes
your children work with much faith and with much vigor.

I thank you my Lord for giving me blessings beyond compare. You and
only you see the little small things that I do to better myself in your eyes. I’m
putting my foot forward so that you may help guide my future endeavors. Lord I
plan to join you, walk with your presence everyday, and live your word in every
way because my Lord, I know that you love your children in a very special way.
And so I write this letter in verse to you today.

If only I could be closer to you, make a sojourn for truth, I really feel
“Homebound” when I think of eternity with you. I pray to you, so that you can see
me and my kind through. We who love you, walk and talk and do all things
through and for you. Aaah ... Lord I feel my spirit rise. You told me that a tear
shall be wiped from every eye. I pray, I pray, dear Lord in the name of your son
that died here on earth, for the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the Alpha and the
Omega, and for my soul, and for my soul
AMEN. 14JAN98 JANUS
