I try.

Dear Jesus,

I know i'm not the best child you have. I know i falter a lot, and i don't come to you when i need to. I don't say thank you very often, and i rush through my prayers. I only ask for help sometimes, and i push myself away from you all the time. I haven't given you my whole heart, and i keep stopping myself from letting you control everything. I don't do everything you want me to, and i don't always make you proud. I know i keep messing up even when i know better, and i know i don't find you in everything. I dont act like a real christian. But i love you. I love you with my whole heart. And i know you love me even though i do all those things and more. You give me every chance i want even when i don't deserve it. You listen to my problems and pointless requests, you hug me when i need it, and you calm me as i cry at night. You wipe my tears and are there for me even when i don't know i need someone. You never leave me. You have so much in store for me and place so much trust in me, even when i wouldn't give it to myself. You are the greatest. You are my life. I love you. I pray you help me come to you more. I pray you help me let us get closer (that didn't make sense but you know what i mean). I pray i never leave you because i know you'll never leave me. I can't express how much i love you. You are my Father. My Light. My world. When things don't work out for me, i know i still have you. When i don't get to see my real father all the time, i still get you 24/7. I love you. I pray you use me in every way possible.

Love,

Your child, Olivia.
