The Letter
A church sent a form letter through the mail to me today.
It said we are having a special event for the Pastor on Sunday.
I started not to read the rest of what was wrote.
But my eyes were drawn to a yellow stick note.
It was a one by one square stuck firmly on the page.
It was a personal touch the best that I could gage.
Probably wants money, or someone saying gimme;
Then I read the words “Please Come, Jimmy”.
I did not plan to go back; my love had been broke;
But God was calling to me through a yellow sticky note.
We went back to the church to darken its doorway;
My heart was hardened; no one would see me after today.
A plaque was given to the preacher, 30 years of thick and thin.
His love for Jesus touched me and stirred the spirit within.
On our way home a conversation with my wife;
She asked me to go back to church, back to God’s way of life.
The old devil spoke to me, he said we don’t need this let’s have some fun;
forget all that good Christian stuff, just cut and run.
Get the behind me Satan, get the behind me Satan, I quote.
For God’s love was shown to me through Jimmy’s sticky note.
Renew your spirit within me, a double portion this I pray;
God please forgive me of my backslidden way.
This I confess to the congregation in all that I have wrote;
God can use anything to show his love even a yellow sticky note.

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
