The Love Letter

He left it for me where He knew I'd find it, but just in case I missed it He had a friend bring me a copy, but in case she couldn't reach me He slipped one in the mail and if all else failed He left one just outside my door. My name was printed on the outside in the most beautiful gold letters, I knew it must be special. I could hardly wait to open it, my heart was overwhelmed, was it possible that someone thought I was that special?

I lifted the pages and began to read, it was a story, a story of beauty and joy, delight and hope, but suddenly tragedy entered in. My heart ached was this where the story would end? I read on knowing there must be more, He loved me so much to write me this letter, there must be a hope for love to triumph. Just when I thought all was lost, He came himself and paid the cost. All the pain and sorrow He took upon Himself bringing hope for tomorrow. All I had to do was trust in Him, believe that He loved me and had covered my sin.

A love greater there never has been, wait till you see all that He has for those who are in Him. I finished the letter, I read every last page, it told a story from the beginning of time to the end of the age. Inter-weaved throughout was a story of love, a perfect love that could only come from our Father above. I knew it was special, He made sure I received it, it meant so much to Him, He left it for me just where I would find it, He spoke straight to my heart with not only His Words but His actions. My love, my Jesus, created me and redeemed me and sent me His Word, the greatest love letter, so that I would know, secure in His love, at my last breath to heaven I will go.
