can i love

Jesus.

If I was to write you a love letter, what would it look like? Would there be lots of blotches on the page where I couldn’t find the words to say or places where the lines were scratched out a thousand times? Would there be tears on the pages? Would the words be long and lingering or short and succinct? Would I tell you I couldn’t live without you? Would I tell you that my one desire is to live and breathe in you, or would I pretend otherwise?

CAN I LOVE YOU? Are we capable of such consistency in a world that is always changing? I don’t want to change. Instead, I want to grow in you, to know you more. I want to believe you more because I know you more. I want to trust you because of who I know you to be. I want to trust that the gifts I have to give are already yours. Would you work on my heart? Would you break me of my pride and stubborn fear? Would your holy spirit wash over me I pray that I would submit every aspect of life to you. Every desire Every fear Every tear cried ever Every heartache Every injustice Every burden Every person Every love Every gift Every goodness Every song Every joy Every pain Every hope Every dream Every project Every professor Every friend Every roommate Every Christian Every step. Lord of life would you define the boundaries of my mind and heart and the limits of my mind so that I would submit each and every thing held tightly to you?

Let my hands release and heart unfold and mind unwind so you can have your work in me…..that your peace would fill my heart. I want the peace that passes understanding and guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. I trust that you know me Lord and love me beyond what I can comprehend…….renew in me the faith of my first love with you.
