Prologue

Jesus,
I've been making lame attempts to get to know you over the course of my whole life. I want to finally take this time in my life to really learn about who you are and have the relationship with you that I should have always wanted. I want to truly understand the kind of person you were, the kind of being you are, and how to love you as close as possible to the way you love me.
I thank you for continuing to give me chances, time and time again, and for everything you've done for me and for what you are doing and will continue to do in my life.
I don't want to mess this up. I know there will be continued phases in my life where I will want and need you to take me back. But I plan to try as hard as I possibly can to walk along your narrow path, for your yoke is easy and your burden is light. I desperately long to find my rest in you.
Be with me as I learn more about you. Come into my thoughts as I read your word. Transform me from the inside out so that I can reflect your goodness on to others, and become the person that you created me to be.
You have blessed me so much and have been so good to me. Thank you, thank you.
I love you. And I can't wait to love you more.

Amen.
