A LETTER TO MY ENEMY?
Dear Enemy,
When you see me, your heart beats like a drum. The rhythm of your ticker goes up and down, playing tunes of anger and displeasure.
When you were cold,
I approached you with a coat but, you rejected my warmth even though you were freezing. You preferred to ask a stranger for a coat.
When you were hungry,
I decided to feed you, but you rejected my concern even though your stomach growled like a wild dog and rumbled like thunder. I desperately wanted to ensure you have no hunger but, you decided to starve instead of receiving food from me.
You were thirsty and, I wanted to give you water, but you turned me down and received from another.
When you were sick,
I offered to nurse you, but you told me you’re okay and strong
even though your corporal expression said otherwise.
When the anniversary of your birth came, I brought you gifts and well wishes. You accepted my affection which made me so happy. But the next day, I saw the gifts I gave you in the garbage can.
At that moment, I realized that no matter what I do, you’ll never feel the same way as I do. Through all those, I remained strong and didn’t lose my zeal to show you affection, but for the first time, I broke down and cried heavy tears. I wondered if I should give up, close this chapter and move on. But then, the thought of it seemed so hard to do. I didn’t want to let go. After all, you’ve spent more than an hour on my mind per day. And you’ve lived rent-free in my heart all this while.
Will you ever accept my love and affection?
Will you ever see the sincerity of my heart?
Will you ever validate my display of emotions towards you?
Sometimes, I wonder to myself if everyone is like this at a point in their lives. Or do we generally have a problem with accepting love?
Synopsis, where I’ve done the same played in my head.
I couldn’t judge you because I’ve been guilty of the exact thing, and I’ll probably do it again.
Suddenly a thought dropped in my heart.
When Jesus comes knocking on my door, I shut it!
When He calls my name, I’ll either not reply,
or I’ll act like I don’t hear a thing.
When I am in trouble. And need help,
I’d rely on others or try solving my problems myself.
He’s the last person I’ll call on for help.
How many times have we rejected the Love of Christ?
How many times have we neglected Him when all He wants is a relationship with you, even a bit of your day?
How many times have we trampled on our faith in Him?
What Christ wants is for us to turn to Him at any moment in our lives. He wants to be our satisfaction and supplier of everything we need in our lives.
It is a relationship with Him that’ll fill the emptiness and void in our lives.
All you have to do is call on His name!
Call upon His name in times of trouble and distress and, He’ll give you rest!
All He wants to do is to walk this life in fellowship with you. And He wants us to recognize that He’s there, waiting at the door of our hearts. Even when we slam the door at His face, He is still there, Waiting!
But I want to ask you a question, How long will you keep Him waiting at your door?
Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”
King James Version (KJV)
Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
King James Version (KJV)
