Dear Jesus,

I met someone...

When I learned he was a Christian I knew exactly why You sent him

You wanted me to become closer to You and he was my incentive.

Lord, please forgive my thoughts but his body makes them sinful

the amount of joy I get from him is really almost pitiful.

He's got a smile as big as Heaven with a heart the same size

I fell in love with the idea of this man being mine.

 

I saw a future in us but sadly, he just didn't see it 

dear Jesus, please tell me why you didn't let me keep him.

One day, things were great but the next they were different

you know the famous "Let's be friends" line?  well, he hit me with it

Once he came into my life I prayed for him to stay

so, Lord, why on Earth did he still go away?

Forgive me for being angry but I want an explanation

do you mind healing my heart quickly, You know, for compensation?

I'm angry, I'm sad, and terribly confused

I also can't shake the feeling that I was used.

 

I longed for consistency, unconditional love, and care

but I see now I've always had it because You've always been there

I pray that one day I find that amazing Christian man

but for now I am completely Yours.

I Love You Jesus, Amen
