A precious letter to you

Precious Letter to You

            Imagine you receive today in the mail a letter from someone you deeply love, who has passed from this world to the next.  You look at the envelope in disbelief as you breathlessly tear into the precious letter to make sense of such a gift!  You read every word of love, and savor each  word!  Your dear friend loves and misses you!  You re-read and take to heart the future plans and promises the letter spells out!  You place the precious letter near you, so that when you feel tested and stressed you can remember that what is now, won’t be forever!  Your friend has lifted your spirits and you look forward to seeing them again!  You can’t wait!


            The Precious Letter is your Bible and your friend is the very one who took the nails for us on the cross so that we can again, be together, in eternity.  Your Bible is a specific affirmation and promise of Christ’s love for you, yes you!  It is a personal letter from God to inform you in a thousand different ways of his plans for you; his lessons to keep you from dangers and harm, and His future spelled out with a promise of the work He is now doing to plan for your arrival!  Our Bible is a love letter penned just for you, reaching out of the grave, to point to a risen Savior and his crazy love for you!
