Love Letter for a Savior

Find me here, and speak to me.

And I'm sitting here, with the sunlight casting golden highlights in my hair, on my hands, on my toes.

Above me, the birds are joyfully chirping, and the gentle breeze kisses the newly grown leaves. In the distance, the sun is sinking. The world is a beautiful place, Lord.

Quiet moments like this are heartbreaking, eye-opening reminders for me that this life--the life You gave Your life for--is amazingly wonderful. It's wonderful. It's amazing.

And it's never been this clear, Lord. It's never been this beautiful. You cleansed my eyes, and my heart, and now I can see the beauty in the simplest things, hear the melody of the quietest songs. I found You, and now I can sense everything in perfect clarity.

My heart is overflowing with words of love, of praise, of thanksgiving. Thank You, Lord. Thank You for a life so blessed, so full of happiness. Thank You for giving Your life away so I can have mine, unworthy I may be. I walk in fields of grace, and I walk freely, securely, because Your love is guiding me, embracing all of me.

You steal my heart, and You take my breath away.

One day, I'll see You. One day, You'll take me into Your arms. And I'll be looking forward to that day. For now, I'll see You in the rising and the setting sun, in the blooming flowers, in the mountaintops, in the eyes of the people I love. I'll feel you in the blowing wind, in the raindrops touching my fingertips. I'll hear You in my heart, Lord, because it'll be where You are. In my heart.
