And so I love you dearly, Lord. My heart longs for You, for Your presence, for Your companionship and Your embrace. It is not with a single thought of how wide or how far my love stretches for You- but with the knowledge that it is dearly, completely and entirely with my whole heart. I love You without doubt or concern, without second guesses or questions- without ponder or curiosity of other avenues of love. I love You openly, Lord. It is with commitment. It is with honesty, and it is with desire that I love You. I love you with expectation, with hopefulness and with Joy- for I know Your love for me surpasses my knowledge of what it is to love, and be loved. I love You for all that is past, present and future- for all that is pre-destined, pre-planned and pre-willed. My love for You is without hesitation, without restraint and without silence or pause. You have placed me close to Your heart, so close that I hear it’s rhythmic beating. You have covered me in grace and allowed me time and time again to swim within it- that I might know the stretch of Your love for me. May my life be a love letter to You, and to this world- that they might see the vastness of Your love for not only I, but all. Here I am, as I am, scars and healing wounds- You love me just the same. And so I end with nothing more than my heart song to You and You alone- Father.. I love you, dearly.
