An open letter
Dear God,
How are you? I know you are busy with running the whole universe, and I am not sure if you have a computer, but I was hoping to write out a little something to you. Normally in a letter I would go on and on about various boring details about my life, but you already know what I have been up to since the day I was born, so I will just jump into some other things. Sometimes, I feel that I am not measuring up. I know comparison can be a dangerous thing, but we are supposed to use the bible as a way to measure and compare, right? Sometimes I see the different examples of men in the bible, and while no one is perfect (except Your son of course) they all seemed like such a perfect mixture. They where firm in their faith, gentle when dealing with hard situations, and loving to everyone around them. I feel sometimes I get shaky in my dependence in you, I slip up and let anything but love come out to others around me, and I basically become someone I shouldn't be. I could probably make excuses for it all, but all excuses do is push the problem away for just a little while. I know you always promise to be around when we need help, and I guess what I am saying is that if that promise is still true, then I want to have a deeper relationship with you, beyond what I am doing now. I need to have you near before I get myself into trouble, which would be a lot easier then the way I am doing things now. Thanks for all the love, talk to you soon.
