Dear Lord,
I just wana say....YOU ARE SO AWESOME ! I cant believe a man that's as mighty, powerful, HOLY, clean an pure as YOU would even notice a dirty, sinful person as me.
I was down an out...and had hit rock bottom..i had nobody to turn to, and nowhere to go. Then one day i over heard some people talking about this man name Jesus, how HE came to save them from their discrutured lives, how HE mercy on them and forgave them, and i was thinking to myself...YEAH...RIGHT...an just WHO would do THAT.? Then they walked away, a few days later i over heard some more people talking about this same guy...how loving, kind, and forgiving HE is, an
. How HE helps tbem through situations in their lives...and if i'm not mistaken ...i think i heard somebody mention a merical or two..then they had left an went bout their day...
By the end of that day i was really curious about this man every body is talking bout..so i got as comfortable as i could in my little box an got out my pen n paper an wrote a letter...i said..
Jesus...i dont know if you can hear me or not. ..but just in case you can...i sure woud like to get to know you better...i hear all this talk bout how wonderful you are, an i even heard somebody say your thier BEST FRIEND ? Wow...Jesus, if thats really true, i sure could use a friend right now...it would be nice to have a shoulder to cry on, an nice warm loving arms wrapped around me and hear somebody tell me everything's gona be alright...
Befor i was finished writting i had drifted off to sleep, an for the first time in years that was the most restful an peaceful nights sleep i ever had.i wrote up the next morning feeling like sonebody held me all nite...i looked down by my blanket an there was the most beautiful book i ever saw...the BIBLE...an in it there was a note that said..." If you will let me in your heart and obey the things I tell you I promise I will guide you on a path of abantant ever lasting life with me..I will love and protect you from the evil ones, i will forgive you of your sins, i will bless you beyond your imagination, i will give you knowledge, wisdom, and understanding like youve never had before...and I will be your EVERYTHING...i will never leave nor forsake you..
Well that book was pretty glued to my hands...lol...best book i ever read.! An i did just as the note said...i admit though...im no saint..i still make mistakes, an have a few issues to work through. ..BUT i do my best every day...after all...i am still a work in progress. ...:-) .
I want yall to know this is not my testimony.. but for some reason i just felt the need to write this short story...i really hope it blesses some body out there...:-)
