To The

Limitless
I've wondered Lord how it can be,
You hear me when I call.
I'm only one of millions,
And your love is over all.
How can it be Your Holy ear,
Is tuned to hear my cries?
How can you know what troubles me
And see the tears in my eyes?
Do I presume too much when I
Approach your sacred throne,
And dare to think that I can spend
Some time with you alone?
Sometimes I am so weary
I don't even want to pray,
I feel confused; things all look wrong-
I don't know what to say.
In quietness and confidence,
I seek a place apart,
And rest until I feel your spirit
Touch my troubled heart
. Although I cannot understand,
Somehow I know you've heard
Like lovers who communicate
Without a single word.
You are so great! I am so small,
I'm glad it is this way
All things are possible with you,
You hear me when I pray.
Great God of all the universe,
In joy or in distress-
I rest myself in all you are,
For YOU are limitless!

Footprints In The Sand"
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes of his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there
was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it had happened at the very lowest and
saddest times in his life.

This really bothered the man and he questioned the Lord
about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd
walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times
in my life,
there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why,
when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I
would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

A LETTER FROM JESUS
Dear Friend,
How are you? I just had to send a note to tell
you how much I care about you. I
saw you yesterday as you were talking
with your friends. I waited all day long
hoping you would want to talk to me too.
I gave you a sunset to close your day
and a cool breeze to rest--and I waited.....
You never came to me. It hurt me--but I still
love you because I am your friend.
I saw you sleeping last night and longed
to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight
upon your face. Again I waited, wanting
to rush down so we could talk.
I have so many gifts for you! I
try to tell you in the blue skies and in the
quiet green grass. I whisper it in the
leaves on the trees and breathe it in
the colors of flowers, shout it
to you in mountain streams, give the birds love
songs to sing. I clothe you with
warm sunshine and perfume the air
with nature scents. My love for you is deeper
than the ocean and bigger than
the biggest need in your heart.
Ask me! Talk to me! Please don't forget me,
I have so much to share with you!
I have chosen you and I will wait for you.

I LOVE YOU!

Your friend,

JESUS
