Dear God,
Thank you for giving us, Jesus, your son that you loved so much.
You sent your beloved Son into this treacherous world of ours, but yet, he has touched the hearts of many as he was growing up. He has performed miracles, healed the sick and comforted the lonely. But yet, he chose to die for us on the Cross in the end. He was not forced to die for us, yet he chose to die for our sins even though He didn’t deserve to. By dying for our sins, we will be one with you again, O God. Jesus is the bridge, linking us to you (if I do go to heaven in the end, that is).
As I ponder on this Easter Virgil, I am looking forward to Jesus’ resurrection and how by dying, He has conquered sin and death. Thus, I should not fear whatever that awaits me on this earth, for I know that Jesus has already conquered all there is. Moreover, He is up there watching us together with our guardian angels and Mother Mary.
Let me wait in anticipation. Let me visualise what it is like standing outside Jesus’ tomb. It will be nice to see a resplendent (is that the term?) man clothed in white and basically, majestic-looking. Dear God, I long to have that vision. To be able to have you look into the depths of my soul and reside within me.
I am scared and feel worthless most of the time, but Lord, by dying for me, I know that you do love me. Do show me a way. Thank you for dying on my sins. You are seated by the Father right now, watching over us. Please have mercy on us, worthless sinners. Let me bear my crosses in life, just like how Jesus gladly bore his as He carried everyone’s crosses on his back to Calgary.
I also pray for Pipsqueak’s conversion. I pray that he will come to get to know you and how you have died for his sins. Amen.
Love,
Me
