Love Letters

You see our pastors wife once told me that she asked for a love letter every once in a while and I thought okay I'll try it and see what my hubby does.
The first time I asked his eyebrows went up as they do, when he is surprised or interested in something. Then he said ok. Wow, that was it. He's going to write me a love letter. Sweet!
Then when I read it I melted. He poured his heart out on paper just for me. It was the sweetest note ever.
You know Mother's Day was just a few weeks ago and I asked Andy for a love letter. This time he typed it and read it to me and the kids. Of course, I melted again and thought how special it was to have him read this in front of the kids. The kids know how much we care for each other and run to the other room if we show affection in front of them. But, here they heard from their dad's heart how he felt about me. I was fully satisfied. There isn't a gift in the world that could give me what Andy gave me that day. It was "priceless". Cards don't come close to what he really feels. His words not words of a stranger.
Now look at this from a Biblical point of view. God's word is a love letter. In His word he reminds us how much he loves us, cares for us, and wants us to have the best. He knows us better than we know ourselves. He wants to be a intimate part of our lives. We can read his love letter every day and learn more about Him. We grow closer to him when we spend time with him.
I teach Jr high girls Bible Study. We tell them how God uses relationships as a picture of his love. My marriage is a picture of God's love for me. Andy loves me, but God loves me more.
