GOD’S LOVE LETTER TO US

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Psalms 119:105

King James Version

Richard W. Adams wrote the hymn “THE BIBLE IS A BRILLIANT LAMP”.  The words in this hymn are so true.  “The Bible is a brilliant lamp, Given to light up our way, To show our feet the way to tread, To turn darkness into day.  To teach to us the Father’s love, And the Evil One’s cruel hate, To show the path round many snares, The way to the pearly gate.”

God has written a love letter to us.  What have we done for Him?  The best way to show our Heavenly Father that we love Him is to be kind and loving to His beloved Son.  Does Jesus have first place in our heart or have we allowed people and things to take first place in our heart?  After all that Jesus has done for us, He deserves to have first place in our heart and in everything we do.

When is the last time you spent time with Jesus just telling Him that you love Him and appreciate Him?  Have you hugged someone for Jesus today?  You may not be comfortable hugging people but you can hug them with kind and loving words.  Most important of all, tell everyone you see how much Jesus loves them.  

I think we sometimes forget that He loves us unconditionally and will always love us.  How much do we love Jesus and what are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him?  If we can stay up all night watching television, we can stay up all night telling Jesus how much we appreciate Him.  We can thank Him all night for what He has done for us but it wouldn’t be long enough to express our appreciation to Him.
