Listen To Letter

          Dear Life,
              As my mind is immersed in sacred thoughts, the way a baby is immersed in holy waters during a baptism, I feel elated. It is a feeling of sweet innocence, something that only the thought of God can evoke. Currently, my mind is focused on the omnipotence of the lord, the divine vastness of his being, through prayer. Prayers are the keys to the lord’s shrine, unlocking the door between worldly and Godly. There is a candle lit in my heart that bears the unwavering love of God, the flame burning brightly because of my faith. Slowly I utter sacred scriptures as I chant “Yeshua,” between each verse. The words flow like melted butter from my tongue, which has made a sacred promise to the lord to speak of truth and love. The sacred scriptures that are recited sound like a divine hymn, creating the same feeling that a pleasant melody would, in my ears.

         My soul feels complete by the promise I have made to share the word of God with the world. It feels like the act of breaking bread and sharing it with disciples. The thirst for something beyond the limits of a physical life is finally quenched. My heart blossoms with flowers like morning glory, which bear fruit that is not forbidden. My eyes are closed tight, as my mind remains devoted to God. Nothing can deter a devotee from the lord, just like nothing can deter one from a fate written by God.  I feel glory awakening inside of me, an untameable force, as if God has sent a part of him in me. My room is my cathedral, the wall in front of me like the waling wall. I kneel and christen myself, my head bowing as I surrender my life to the lord. I love the lord with all my heart, like the bridegroom’s love for the church. My mind is like a vault housing my love for God, the only thing that I can truly perceive with a flawed mind and the only part of my reality that wont shatter with divine truth. As I reflect in this divine moment, a prayer comes to me:

“O Lord, the mighty one whose tongue is pure,
the gallant warrior and the unfathomable king,
the one whose mercy is bestowed upon mankind, 
we long your blessings, as we are flawed with sin, like a terrain that craves rain that can cure a long unseasonal drought.
We the people of dirt and dust are idols of clay, easily broken by our bad deeds,
but you my lord are of light, and good, our savior
the only one who can turn an idol into a temple, for our spirit bodies
Your love is as vast as the sea,
forgive me as I am only an ounce of love, like a drop of water in the ocean,
gift me your presence so I can make more of this life
and turn my emptiness into fulfilment
Please accept me as I come out from the abyss and into your heavenly kingdom,
for it is only you I truly and wholeheartedly seek.”

          Wonders await the one who has kept their faith in God. Faith can have a ripple effect in your life, as you learn to overcome the demons of doubt, ignorance, guilt, shame, and anger. These are the emotions of sin. Living a sacred life that has meaning, and love, is virtuous, for living in his name is a promise to return to him one day.

          I hope that you find divine inspiration through this epistle! May the lord bless you with all his love.
