A Letter to Our Lord Jesus Christ

 

 

Dear Lord Jesus,

 

            Lord Jesus, our Savior and our All, teach us how

not to condemn others, but to confirm them, affirm them,

 

…not to control others, but to allow them to grow in your love,

 

…not to compare ourselves with other, but to accept ourselves, realizing each one of us are unique creations of yours,

 

…not to complain so much about things, but to accept them, being content with what God has given us,

 

…not to constantly complain about others, rather accept them, cherish them,

not to corrupt others, but rather inspire them, edify them,

 

…not to criticize others, so constantly, but rather encourage them, support them in their endeavors,

 

…not to serve sin nor serve self, but rather to serve the Lord and others,

 

…not to be so curious, but rather caring, needing to know less, needing and desiring to serve more,

 

…not to be so callous, but rather compassionate, sensitive, thoughtful,

 

…not to destroy one another with words, but thinking, about something positive to say about one another

 

…not to be so selfish, nor self seeking, but living a life of caring service to those nearest to us and to anyone we encounter,

 

…not to seek great power, fame or wealth, but seeking your kingdom, your style of life,

 

…not to be ignorant of your word, your holy scriptures, reading from your word everyday left to us,

not to resist your plan, design for our lives, but discerning it, embracing it, pursuing it,

 

…not to feel defeated, but living in your victory, the victory your sufferings at the cross won for us all,

 

…most of all, teach us, show us, how to love in and by your Holy Spirit, to be creative and productive in your Holy Spirit, and never to cease seeking you in personal prayer, in community, in the assembly, in each other, in all we encounter,

 

…For you are our All, the all Holy one, our only advocate before the Father our only Messiah, our faith’s only author and finisher, our only hope……OUR ONLY LORD…….

 

 

 

 

 

Your brother……
