God's letters to you

Next week it is Valentine’s day. There will be a lot of talk about love. What do you think is the best way to show love to someone? Maybe it is to say yes when he asks you to marry him? Or is it to care for someone who is very sick? Or to do something very romantic like writing the words “I love you” in the sky with the vapour stream of a private aeroplane?

When God wanted to show us His love, He wrote us a love letter. It is called the Bible and it consists of 66 books. Listen to the words from one of His letters:     

                   “Rise up, my love, my fair one,

                     And come away.

                     For lo, the winter is past,

                     The rain is over and gone. “

In John 15:13 Jesus says the following words: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. “

Why do you think Jesus said this to his disciples?

Do you think it is true or can one show your love for someone in a bigger way than this?

What was He trying to tell them?

If you receive a love letter or even a card from someone, would you not read it? If you receive word upon word from Almighty God, would you not read it?

Greater love.....don’t you long for that? Then read His letters to you.
