An interesting question. You've inspired me:

I am nothing and nobody.
I am dust and ash.
I am cold, dark, desolation.
I am a moment in eternity.

In You, I am someone.
I am life and breath.
You light the fire in me,
And give me forever.

I owe You everything.
In You I can do anything.
I have something to live for,
I have hope and I have life.

I’m safe in Your arms.
Father, I love You, always.

What a beautiful way of putting down what is on your heart Desiree. I to have had these same feelings for our heavenly Father and am so thankful for his gracious love and forgiveness which is always there for when we decide to return from our failed attempts to do it on our own, and what great joy that comes over our soul when we are graciously given the love of the father as he greets us with open arms and forgives us our sinful act against Him. your friend misterp

desiree: your letter is full of love for our Father. there are so many people like you and me that tried to do it our way but we just never found happiness.

i´m back to my Father's way and life is full of happiness, and His love was always wating from me. since i got back, everything makes sense and i'm doing things i´d never thought i could be able to do... He is the guide, and now I understand that we are all given a body, a brain and a soul to develop love for life and for everyone else. He has a plan, a porpouse for each one of us, and when we let us guide... we get the best life we could´ve lived. HIS way is now my way.

This is something that a friend of mine has been after me to do, to write a love letter to myself from God and so, thanks in part to your posting, is my first attempt:

My Father,

Your love for me overwhelms me and makes me feel both small and so cherished. I don’t deserve the love that you lavish on me in your own time, knowing better than me what I am capable of handling. You show me in little ways, that you are with me throughout the day. You know my fears, and would field them for me if only I let you. I need to listen more to Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.

Father, I do not say thank you enough, I come to you with problems and fears, but not enough praise. Even with all the decisions that I have made, thank you for my health and my life, for giving me thoughts and guidance to get me back on a better path to you.

I will never completely understand the depths of your love for me, and all that you have done to try and secure me for yourself, but thank you for always continuing in that love and showing me that love to keep leading me back to you.

Tami this is wonderful.
Dear Lord
i don't know how to express myself to You. I can only humble myself before You now and come Just as I am. Lord You have been so faithful. There are those days that i thought would never come to an end but you were always there. Never leaving me nor forsaking me. You have sent Angels in form of friends my way. What can i say. You are overwhelming
You have been my Shepherd I have not lacked for anything. Oh Lord How precious are you. You know my every thought, you know my every need, you have seen my every tear. Lord am not worthy.
Your love for me runs so deep. You have found me in strange places and Father you have never let me go. I worship You Lord and I lift your name on High.
You have held me in your arms, hidden me under the shadow of your wings. You have been my refuge, my fortress a constant help. Lord oh Lord who am I that you are so mindful of me? Lord what could i have done that i deserve to be called your child? a son of your kingdom?
My precious redeemer. That you wipe away my tears and restore my soul? i could only rejoice like that dying thief on the cross, that i have seen you in my day. Me this person that has sinned so often.
thank you Lord for being in my life. and now Lord all i can do is surrender,give my self and my all to you and let you fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Your Love and power. Lord thankful.
Emily

Thanks, Emily, this friend writes lots of love letters from God to herself and so she inspired me to try. Now that I have done the first one, I need to do a better job with the second.

Wonderful first attempt Tami! The beautiful part of writing these letters is the time we reflect on our relationship with our Father and it shows how much we have grown spiritually! : )
