Love Letter to Yahweh

I've recently been having some healthy, way-too-honest "come to Jesus" talks with a blessing-of-a-friend. Tonight's inspired me to write a "Love Letter" to my Jesus. I'm so overwhelmed by the beauty of my King that my heart is fluttering, like I literally have butterflies.




I can write good essays for school.


I can write well when it comes to informative things.


But when it comes to putting my feelings on paper, trying to use words to express the explosion of emotions inside me, I'm awful. So bear with me- this isn't for you anyway! haha.. It's for my Jesus.




"Love Letter to Yahweh"




Sovereign. Beautiful. Glorious.


They don't even touch You, my King.


Nothing my small, human mind can think up


will ever be worthy of describing even the


GROUND You walk on.




You are so high above me, God.


You're MATCHLESS. Almighty. Unchanging.


It is my honor to be a creature that


You choose to dote upon.




Your love overwhelms me.


Consumes me.


Defines me.


Take me in Your arms, the same arms that


hold the entire universe, shower me with the love


that only my Abba Father can give.




Sovereign Lord, all the love, praise, and worship


I can give will never be worthy of You, nor will they


match what You gave me by breathing Your life into me,


and mercifully saving me... forgetting all of my


ugliness and filth.




But I will spend my eternity trying to thank You for simply being


"I AM."




I love You, Yahweh.
