Our Father...

Dear Daddy...
Aba Father...

Abu...
Baba...

You mean the world to me.
Without You this life is pointless.
I remember a time I was so alone, I wanted to die, but You let me live.
I remember when I begged death to take me - trade in with Joan, but You let me live...

For a long while I wanted to believe that You don't exist.
Wishful thinking got me believing You don't care..
But the problem was with me...
I never came to You for ANYTHING!!!

I imagined that I could do it all by myself.
And I got hurt again and again..

And, after all this nonsense, ashamed and bruised...
You still embraced me when I crawled back to You.
You did not rebuke me...

When I cried You hugged me and wiped my tears..
You listened when I called You..
You opened gates for me and closed doors my enemies were using...
You talked to me often.

Let's just say, Your love for me amazes me.
I love You back...
I am not ritualistic... I hate religious frenzies, especially when they make me numb!!

But, my love for You still burns..
Your precepts amaze and inspire me.
I will follow Your word because in Your presence there is love, joy, peace, stability and growth.
Your presence keeps me alive.

Loving You is life for me.
I love You Father..

This is Serenity...
