God's Love Letter to You

Remember getting notes, cards or emails from someone you loved? Do you remember reading and rereading the communication? You would read it to see what it revealed about the apple of your eye. When I got such a note, I would ask begin asking questions. Is this person of whom I am fond, a kind person? Is she interested in the same things that spark my interest? Does she have similar goals and desires?

You probably thought about the note long after you put it down. You did not care so much about the facts of this person’s life. You wanted knowledge that would lead to understanding of this person’s make-up. You thought about the implications of what they said. You longed to know, “Is their any indication of this person’s love for me?”

Scripture has often been called God’s love letter to mankind. I invite you to read through the Bible with that in mind. Look for ways that God reveals Himself.

Read God’s Word the same way. Read it. Ponder it. Consider who wrote it. The living God of the universe who named the stars took the time to write you from His heart. Gain a fresh understanding of His heart for you as you read His love letter to you.
