A Love Letter to my Beloved

Dear Beloved--

You are able
and I am so thankful for that

Your shoulders are big enough to carry my fears, worries, frustrations, dreams, hopes, tears and enthusiasm. You alone are worthy of my trust because You have proven Yourself to be so faithful and constant these past 30 years, that I know I can depend on You. You will never fail me.

I may not understand You at times. I may wish Your ways were my ways. I may grow weary in the process as I am right now but You are still good.

You are still worth my love and confidence.
Without You, I would be a broken mess.

I remain,
Yours.

A Song

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

And I'll stand in awe of You, Jesus
Yes, I'll stand in awe of You
And I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You


**Words and lyrics by Matt Redman (although the clip is sung by Phillips, Craig, and Dean)

A Song

There's no sweeter name than the name of Jesus.
His name brings joy, love and life.

A Love Letter to my Beloved

Dear Beloved--

with much on my mind, You beckon
quietly, patiently, You wait

i move, focused and preoccupied
from one thing to the next
thinking through the list of what to do

the list of shoulds, what-ifs, and don't forgets
the planning, dreaming, and concentrating

the day goes by with nary a thought
of stopping the busy to catch up with You

i lay in bed wondering if life will be easier,
if i've missed some Call
if i should do better

in the stillness of the moment
i hear Your soft voice still calling for me
and i'm flooded with sadness

another day has gone by
without me calling Your name.

in You, there is peace, wisdom, and joy
in You, there is a future, a destiny, and plan
in You, there is wholeness, clarity, and love
for only in You is there a me.

I remain,
Yours.

My Beloved Speaks to Me

Who is there like Me?
I don't forget My promises
I pardon all your sins
I heal you of diseases
I provide you with meaning and purpose
And crown you with compassion and lovingkindness

For I am compassionte and gracious
Slow to anger and abounding in love

I have not dealt with your sins as I should have
But have instead removed them from you
As far as the east is from the west
As far as the heavens is from the earth
For I have compassion on you

I know I made you fragile
A life created from dust
A life that whithers like grass
or is blown away in the wind
But life with Me is everlasting!


**Adapted from Psalm 103:2-4, 8, 10, 12-17

A Love Letter to my Beloved

Dear Beloved

It is good for me to give thanks to You
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,

For You, My Beloved, have made me glad by what You have done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
How great are Your works, O LORD!
Your thoughts are very deep.

I declare that You are upright;
You are my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in You.

I remain,
Yours


**Adapted from Psalm 92:1, 2, 4, 5, 15
