In 1991, actress Julia Roberts was asked what object she valued most. "I have a letter from my daddy," she replied, "the only letter that I managed not to lose as a child . . . . If anybody ever took that away from me, I would just be destroyed. It doesn’t mean anything to anybody else, yet I can read that letter 10 times a day, and it moves me in a different way every time."
According to Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, the Bible is a priceless love letter from the heavenly Father to His children. How do you view the Bible? Do you think it’s simply a unique ancient book known for its historical and religious values? Or do you look at it as a personal letter from your heavenly Father, the only such letter in existence? And do you read the Scriptures repeatedly, even daily, finding in them something that each reading touches your heart?
If you no longer sense God’s love letter speaking to you, try spending a week with Psalm 119  an anthem of praise for His Word. You’ll find that the Bible will make you wise and help you to restrain yourself "from every evil way" (vv. 98-101). It will become "sweet" to your taste, "sweeter than honey to [your] mouth" (v. 103).  Vernon Grounds
O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me,
That He may touch my eyes and make me see;
Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed I see Thee, Lord.  Groves
