Micah 7:7 A Love Letter

I LOVE that I have a job where I get love notes like this from students! This particular one was written by a new second grader that I had not met yet. What a joy it was to finally hug this kiddo and welcome them to my library. I hung this note up and as I have read and reread it these last few weeks, I have been struck by His anticipation of our meeting and him being able to enjoy the books I have carefully chosen for the library.

Anticipation is the feeling of confident excitement for something that is going to happen. It can also be the act of preparing for something important. I think this kiddo’s letter is such a pure, unblemished example of both types. (Okay, spoiler alert….I have met him and instantly fell in love with him.)

Can I ask you something? How are your thoughts, words, and actions letting Him know that you are anticipating this face to face moment when you change locations? I know I don’t like to talk about death much, do you? There is so much unknown about it. In fact, maybe you are like me and just want to pretend it’s not going to happen. (Sometimes I can be so delusional.) So, I’ve been asking myself all day today, “What would my letter to God sound like?” As my thoughts are bumping up against this topic and finally meeting Him face to face, I have to wonder if my words would make Him giggle and look forward to hugging me or would they leave Him wondering if I really want to meet Him? Hum… so much to ponder. Stay tuned as we wrestle some more with this topic. Yes, I know all the scriptures related to this. I theologically understand all of this, but I’m just wondering what your raw thoughts are. I would love to hear them in the comments below. Micah 7:7 is what I am praying and asking Him for understanding on. Want to join me?
