Two weeks ago I received the most sweet love letter from someone I had met only recently. It was filled with words trying to express love and emotions that we can't use words to express. And yet it stirred up so many lovely feelings within my heart.
I was still in bed when my phone beeped and I saw this message marked to me, I opened it not even expecting to read what I was about to read. The love letter took me by surprise. Its so flattering to know that someone thinks so lovingly about you. It's was so flattering for me that I read the message again and again and again. I read it so many times over that I memorized it word for word. Right this moment I could repeat every word in the love letter to me verbatim.
The funny thing is that I never got bored of it. As a matter of fact every time I read his words to me it seemed fresher and more meaningful. So I read it a few more times over. In the first one hour of receiving the letter I must have read it over 50 times ! ! !
I soooooo loved the love letter to me that I forwarded it to my best friend because I wanted to share my excitement over it with her, I just wanted her to cherish it as much as I did ! And because she is my best friend I was sure she would share in my joy and excitement and exhilaration... Like expected she called me unable to conceal her excitement. And then we discussed the letter word by word and line by line.
I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful words in the love letter to me. I thought about it at work, in bed, as I walked and talked. I thought about it all the time. I was walking in the clouds. The last 2 weeks have been beautiful just thinking about his love letter to me...
Just one love letter convinced me of his love for me !
And then what comes to mind is a more meaningful love letter that I completely forgot. The Love Letter written by someone who loves me like no other. Who's love for me is not based on my performance or the way I look or dress up or speak. Not based on what I do. And not even based on how I love back ! So true HIS love for me is...
This Love Letter was loaded with more love than I could grasp. HE wrote this letter to me many years ago but it was delivered to me by my friend Pradeep Warpe in 2006. I was too busy to care about HIM or HIS Love Letter. So I just put it away. I finally got down to opening it and reading it in 2007. I had no idea that HE wrote to me before that. I read it but I must confess I didn't take it seriously. I didn't read it so many times over. I didn't think about it the whole day. It didnt impress me and it was too good to be true so I didnt even believe it much.
But HE said in HIS love letter to me that HE loves me. HIS love will never change no matter what I do or even if I blow it up real bad. HE has decided that HE is not going to leave me. HE is just a call away. Whenever I am in trouble I just have to call on HIM and HE will be there and sort it all out for me. Right now HE is getting my mansion ready and HE will be back to get me. Nothing will ever separate us, just nothing. Nothing I can think about or imagine can keep us apart. Even if I decide to walk away HE will wait for me. HE wont move on. Whatever I ask for HE will arrange to let me have it if it wont harm me in the long run HE said. HE also said that HE thinks about me all the time. And HE has my name tattooed on HIS hand. HE cant stop looking at it. HE is jealous for me. HE doesnt like it when anyone else takes HIS place in my heart or in my life.
So much JESUS loves us. Yet I take a man's love letter and hold it close to my heart and I take HIS Love Letter and keep it on my shelf. I think about a man's love letter all day. Just 6 lines I repeat in my head. Moment after moment I open it and read it and close it and keep it back and then quickly go back to it and open it and read those same 6 lines as if so much changed 2 minutes ago. And I forget HIS perfect, true, never changing love for me !
I am embarrassed that I held a man's love letter so dear and took for granted the best Love Letter written by the best Lover who loved me and laid HIS life down for me ! ! ! !
