2 Kings 5:13
“If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me.”

I cannot give it directly to her, so I asked my classmate to give it. It was a “love letter”, telling the girl of my dream how I like her. One way or another, all of us have given a love letter or have received one. And the one who receives this love letter should feel loved, though, the feeling may not be mutual.
And our Father has given us more than just a love letter. He showed His love to us by giving us His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. It was not just a way of saying that He likes us, but a way of telling the whole world that He truly loves us. And because of this love, Jesus has given up His life so that we may be saved.
Have you accepted God’s “love letter”? Have you read it, understood it, put it in your heart and continue to live it?
We should feel very loved. We cannot say that the feeling is not mutual once we receive God’s love. I do pray that your heart will be similarly stirred as well. But I also pray that this will be the start of a life-long love affair with God's Word, as the expression of all He is and will be for you in you and through you, throughout eternity.
God loves you. God loves all of us. And Jesus Christ is very true manifestation of that love. More than just a love letter, but His Son dying for our sins so we may be with our Father again in heaven.
Let us pray +
Teach me to love, Lord, as You love, make it unconditional, honest, and kind. To ask nothing back in return, Lord. To encompass the whole of mankind. Make my love for others be greater by far than any love that is offered to me, led by the Spirit, inspired of God, as forgiving as Jesus...true love, forever and ever…and free. Amen +
Glory and praise for ever!
