Letters To God.

Silly Disclaimer: Yes, I know it's been a while, but I've decided to get back into the world of blogging.

Last night I watched a movie entitled "Letters To God". It was about a young boy battling a rare form of cancer and everyday he wrote a letter to God, and gave it to the postman.In these letters, he never once asked God why he was sick, or even to make him better. He just asked God to help those he cared about. [I won't mention anymore, I don't want to ruin the movie.] This got me thinking though, if I were to write a letter to God, what would I say? You want to know something, I had and still have no idea. I think most of my letters would be something like "Dear God, why is this happening?" or "Dear God, what do I do now?" or even, "Dear God, don't hate me, but I screwed up...again."

Someday, I want to be able to write a letter to God, and not have it be all about me and the mistakes I've made. Someday, I want to be able to write a letter that goes something like "Dear God, I took your advice, and my life is so much better because of it. Thank you, and I love you." I want to listen to God, more than I listen to myself. I want to be able to write a letter that makes God smile. 

If you were writing a letter to God, what would you say?

 2 Corinthians 3:3 - You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
