A Letter to God

by Bella

I believe in you

All my life I have WANTED to let God into my heart, yet it has always been so hard, and it’s often that I lay in my bed panicking that maybe God isn’t real? What if I can never truly believe in him then when I die I go to hell? I would say I believe in Jesus, but it never really clicked.

One day I was on the computer playing my favorite game. I was listening to some Christian songs too—Silent Night, Mary Did You Know, etc. I was in the middle of listening to Angels We Have Heard On High when suddenly I really wanted to write a letter to Jesus Christ. Towards the end of the letter, I decided to say it again.

I believe in you.

But this time, for just a second, my heart felt odd.  I started to tear up and cry. I was sitting there writing, “I love you Jesus. I love you Jesus and I will always love you.” Then when I was done I signed my name and put it in my bedroom. I will always read that letter if I start to feel weak, or my connection with God is starting to feel lost.

I love Jesus Christ. Sometimes I still question myself , but I think back to that letter and feel stronger.
