Dear Lord,
I’ve been talking to you all my life. Most of the time, I think I only talked to you because I had no other choice. Sometimes, I talk to you out of fear or desperation. I think I was that bitchy girl that turned to you whenever she ran out of bad choices to choose from. But even from that perspective, you were the only good choice I had ever gone to.
Thinking back, whenever I did turn to you for help, you never failed to help me. Though my motives were selfish, you always proved yourself to be faithful to your people. I know I said I love you before, but I think it was all lip service. Now I see that I was a foolish, naive, and young girl who only wanted to be the center of attention.
But look where we are right now, Lord! I talk to you, not just because I am in a desperate position, but because I want to talk to you about life and everything else in it. We’ve come so far, my love. This year’s Christmas would be our 3rd Christmas together. I feel like it was just yesterday when I was wasting away my life on temporary things here on earth. But now, I have you. The only eternal and lasting component in my life.
I know we’ve come a long way, more than I thought I’d ever be in this life. But I am hoping for so much more. A more wonderful relationship with you everyday would be something I’d always want and need. To have a genuine and deeper relationship with you is all I could ever ask this Christmas. Everything else is relative.
Thank you, my love, for loving me and your people. Thank you for coming down here on earth as a humble babe, so that you could fulfill the greatest sacrifice that man would ever know. I will celebrate this season with joy knowing that I am celebrating a great love story that happened 2000 years ago–one that is between me and you.
I love you.
