Dear God.
Dear God,
I have seen how beautiful it is to be called yours, I have seen how lovely it is to be associated with you. Each time I am swept off my feet by your unending unconditional love. Words are not enough to describe the beauty of the love we share. Sometimes I ask myself, is this not too much to receive?, but then, I realise that there's the need for me to enlarge my soul to receive your immeasurable love. I was once blind, but now I see, I was once dead but now I am alive because of you, I once lived in darkness but now am I given access to light through you.
I know what it means to be blind, I know the struggle it takes to be blind because I have experienced it. I know what it means to live in darkness and how painful and self-destructive it is, because I was once there. Choosing to be called by you was a choice I made, I know and I believe that it is a wise decision to be one with you even when the world have normalised it as foolishness and archaic. But their perspectives about you and being one with you hold no water in my life. Through the years of being with you lord, you have related with me in so many ways, some of which I never knew you had such nature until I started walking with you. You have related with me as daddy, you have related with me as king, you have related with me as saviour, you have related with me as master. You have shown me how deep your desires are and how it just never leaves you until it's executed. You have shown me how fiercely consistent you are in everything, giving me the assurance that I have believed a God who is always certain about what he represents. Very consistent in emotions, in character, in instructions and so many other things. But you have decided to relate with humans that are very inconsistent, with humans who are not one bit close to being fiercely consistent like you and because of this, we are able to shun every distraction so we could be consistent with you and in you.
My resolve is, I can't trade this for anything. I can't trade this for anything outside you. Even in the most difficult season, it's not enough and worthy to take the beautiful precious life I have in you. Paul said it in Romans 8:38-39 [NLT]
[38] And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love.
[39] No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
