A Letter to Jah, Through Jesus


A Letter to Jah, Through Jesus (contest: A Letter to God)


Jah Jehovah
My Most Precious Father,

through Jesus, I do to you now pray:

I love you with my whole heart, mind, and soul.
Determined never from you to stray.

For your love to me/us
you've demonstrated first

in sacrificing your beloved
only-begotten

Son of gold.

Through him,
we can approach you freely

at any given time. Pouring out our hearts

emptying our imperfect souls

with tears and outcries.

With words delicate

though sometimes feeling a strong need
for expressing ourselves

with phrases bold.

Jesus showed us just how
the night he gave his valuable life.

With supplications revealing
an anxiety about accomplishing your will--

dying as a blasphemer.

An action vastly distasteful to Him.

But, His love for you
proven.

Never to be bought or sold.

His example
a perfect model
in us instilling

faithfulness

a quality denoting
freely living

life in self-sacrifice.

For,
with blood mingled with his tears,
Jesus uttered:

“Abba, Father,
all things are possible for you;

remove this cup from me.

Yet, not what I want,
but what you want.” Mark 14:36
.

"Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him." {Luke 22:43.)

Yet, still, he prayed
not to die as a despicable criminal
before all

onlookers. Dishonored.
His body slayed.

Though, in the end,

You glorified him
as he petitioned you:

"Jesus spoke these things,
and raising his eyes to heaven,
he said: 

“Father, the hour has come.

Glorify your son
so that your son may glorify you". John 12:23.

His integrity
now in immortality

eternally
in your service

lovingly stayed.

Jah, You showed us many examples of your love of loyalty
after we've dispensed of a life of vice

although, perfect
a role model

through whom

I must to you bestow praise,
give thanks and supplicate--

Your beloved only-begotten Son,
Jesus Christ.

In imitation of him
I to you offer this prayer:

“Father, let your name be sanctified.” Luke 11:2.

For Eternity.

Yes! For Ever and
For Always

under your glorious starry skies
which even higher is comprised

of our angelic loyal brothers,

myriads
of which Christ,

foremost

Is unlike any other:

"Furthermore,

there is no salvation in anyone else,

for there is no other name under heaven

that has been given among men
by which we must get saved.” Acts 4:12.
