I had told our children I had the letters, but they had never seen them. I think they were a little shocked to see how many handwritten notes their dad had taken the time to write all of those years ago! They enjoyed seeing them and the other treasures I pulled out from boxes.
Love letters......from someone who loves me and who I love. They're special and always will be. Treasures for sure.
The Bible is God's love letter to us, but I wonder: Am I just as excited to open it up and read the words He has written to me? Am I just as eager to show His Word to others as I am to show the old love letters to my children?
I would say yes....most of the time I am. But sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I'm negligent and sometimes I don't recognize the treasure that it truly is.....a book with thousands of promises to be claimed - by ME and by YOU! A book with the story of Good News that enables us to become one of God's children! A book that has withstood the test of time and whose words can heal and mend the brokenhearted. A book like no other. Letters like no other. Love letters from a Heavenly Father who loves us more than we could ever imagine!
