the words He says to me

Anyone remember being in love?
The kind of "in love" where you hang on each word he says to you.
Where each phrase is dissected to find his true meaning.
When a simple sentence is a volume of love poems he wrote just for you.
When one word is a symphony............and brings enough joy to last for days.
When you know that he loves you just by the way he says your name.

God loves us.
He wrote a book to tell us how much He loves us.
He starts at the very beginning with the creation of the heavens and the earth.
He told how sin entered the world through Adam and Eve.
In the third chapter of Genesis he brought the gospel to our attention.
He would send His son Jesus Christ to be our Savior....to reconcile us back to God.
All through the Bible while He is telling His story He gives us books of comfort and wisdom.
We get to read about the kings and the prophets and all of their adventures.
We get to read about the life of Jesus on this earth.
We get to read about His death, and His resurrections, and His ascension back to heaven.
We travail with the the Apostles as they establish His Church for these "last days."
We get to hear how the earth will end (fire), and how it won't end (flood).
God tells us that Jesus was victorious over sin and Satan and death.
For those of us who believe God tells us that we will be with Him for all eternity.

He wrote this incredible love letter to us.
Do we even bother to read it?

If we love God with all of our heart we will love His word.
We will crave it.
We will hunger and thirst after it.
We will study it and try to comprehend what it means.
We will be made complete in it.

Love is not a casual acquaintance.
It is like the love described in the first paragraph.
Loving God and His word should consume us.
