In Love With Words

Have you ever gotten a letter, an email, or a text from someone you love or think you love?

You wait in anticipation for the ding of your phone...

You check the mail at 4:30 on the dot everyday for a letter...

Then, you finally get it. It's exciting!

You read over it again and again to dissect the words and punctuation and try to find some kind of meaning in it all. You dive into it again and again to find comfort or hope or laughter. You read it again, just so you can think about them.

What would life be like if that's how we approached the Bible? If we couldn't wait to open it and read God's words again? If we sat down and dissected words and phrases. If our hearts raced every time we found something new? What if we thought about his letter to us throughout the day, and smiled when we remembered He said He loves us?

I'll bet if we truly treated the Bible as God's letter to us, and not just merely say that it's God's letter to us, our lives would be more exciting! We would be more confident and less timid. We would be happier and less grouchy or prone to complaining. I'll bet there would be an unexplainable light and smile on our faces.

God is real and He is waiting. Now it's up to us to either trash his letter like junk mail or to devour it like the love letter it is!
