Lost Love Letter

in religion •  7 years ago 

Psalm 119:40

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I
shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;
yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to
covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and
quicken thou me in thy way.
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is
devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy
judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness.

While Allen Cook and his daughter Melissa were renovating a house in New Jersey last year, they found a yellowed unopened envelope that had literally fallen between the cracks. It was a love letter dated May 4, 1945, by a woman named Virginia to her husband, Rolf Christoffersen, serving in the Royal Norwegian Navy. The envelope was marked “return to sender.” The letter said, in part, “I love you Rolf, as I love the warm sun.” Allen and Melissa tracked down Rolf, now 96 and a widower, and his son read the letter to him. Virginia’s long-lost love letter reached him at last.

Charles Stanley wrote, “The Bible is God’s love letter to mankind. You may never have thought of it that way; many people tend to think of the Bible as a rule book or a story book. In reality the Bible is a magnificent love letter in which God tells His children how He longs to care for them and bless them, forgive them and shower them with His mercy.” Don’t let God’s love letter to you fall between the cracks.

The Bible is God’s “love letter” to us, telling us
not only that He loves us, but showing us what He
has done to demonstrate His love. ~ Billy Graham

People always want love and happiness. Interesting article. I'll have to read the Bible. Thank you!

Very beautiful picture. You're right. We need to read the Bible. Thank you for the article.

all religion books are interesting, everyone needs to read.
i agree they like.

wow awesome writing thanks for sharing ☺

Great educative article @deathlyhorror..
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people..

LOL - funny

Amen and very nice post , thank to our Father GOD and JESUS CHRIST

The bible is really a love letter to we believers and to the world at large. It's not just a dead letter but one that contain a vital or experiential knowledge and embrace of the one that loves us. God by his Spirit has embraced us for all time....

Yes. Christianity is the only religion that celebrates what God has done for us instead of what we can do for God.

Even after writing a heart warming letter through his spirit, He unlike humanly written letter is ever present to give you the experience of the content of his love letter by his ever present Spirit.

In the bible you will find the most beautiful feelings of our father, towards all humanity. God has made the greatest act of love, by giving his son, to pay for the sins of the whole world.
Who could overcome such action?
Thanks for posting.

Amen. very good comment.

Undoubtedly the Bible is the word of God and a complete trajectory of lives that relate about love, that is to say Jesus, who in immense love gave himself for love of us.

The best message we can receive comes from the Bible, in the good and bad moentos she knows how to give advice and the right word for each life.
Strengthens our mind and fills it with the love of God.

Beautiful message @deathlyhorror

It is true brother, usually one sees the bivlio as a manual of life, of rules. In spite of being in the midst of the promises that God left us in her, I had not seen her in that way as you show here. Very good lesson, it's a love letter .... Happy weekend

Reading this God's love letter every day keeps you closer to him with all the benefits of God's love. Makes face challenges of this world confidently knowing he is ever with you. Thank you @deathlyhorror

very interesting your article. I get some different others article. thanks.

Amazing story .. Thank you for sharing .. many blessings

in this picture he is Zisu,am i rgiht dear?

I believe it's Jesus. never heard of zisu.

Where did you find lost love letter?

This is a whole new way of looking at the bible for me. Every story is a lesson to each and every one of us and the words of wisdom and advice are to serve as a guide that we may not lose our way in this world and in our journey to the next.
Psalm 119:105: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path"
God truly loves and cares for us and so He wrote us a manual (The Bible) for how to operate in the earth so that we won't have to learn some things the hard way.
Thanks for the share brother!

Yes! The bible is God speaking. We were made to understand that God is love!
His words in the bible is as a result of the unending love He has for us! The bible expresses Gods love! It is the greatest love letter of all.

omonosa

There is power in the word of God. The Spirit is what brings the letters of the Bible to life!

nice post

In the bible is the word of God that is food for our spirit and is revelation for everyone who reads it.

I had never seen it from that perspective @detahlyhorror.
1 My God,
you know me very well;
You know everything about me!
2 You know when I feel
and when I get up;
Although it is far from you,
you read my thoughts!
3 You know what I do
and what I do not do;
There is nothing you do not know! Psalm. 139: 1-3

Blessings!!

Niece one brother. These words of God in the Bible not only pointing God's love for us but also how we too need to love Him for the equation to be balance. The question now is how much do we love God? May God help us.

Deep.

let God’s love letter to you fall between the cracks.

We must really allow the Bible (God's word) to elegantly serve the purpose which God has designed to fulfil in our lives, just like you've said...

Thanks for sharing. @deathlyhorror

My Writings are somewhat long, but I hope you have the time to read and be a Blessing. Excellent Post.

The Bible is not just a book but like a manual in which we ought to live our life and as well like you said brother @deathlyhorror!! It is God love letter to mankind hehe. God bless you brother.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies. Has he loves us.

Excellent post!

Que Dios te bendiga...

Certainly the Bible is where we can read the teachings of God and know the love of God and his mercy towards us (John 15, 9-17). An affectionate hug @deathlyhorror

Lovely write up. The bible doesn't only talk about the love of Christ but teaches us also how to love.

Amen

God ways are misery and we holy spirit for understanding

Great article. The love of God is seen through all the pages of scripture. Somehow, however, people focus on the "wrathful" God that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah rather than the loving God that sent His son to provide us with salvation. The Bible is certainly the greatest romance novel written.

Another awesome post. And, I haven't actually look at it from this angle, but I'm glad your post made me see it this way.

I mean, what else could it? It's truly a love letter to the children of God. The whole reason God sent His Son to die on the cross was because He loves us and wants us to be saved.
