I Believe 1-7/7

 What is it like to receive a personal letter, card, or message that encourages you?  For me, it is heart warming, encouraging me to do the same for someone else. Personal messages strengthen the friendship and help redirect an attitude or path. Today’s devotional helps refocus how we read the Scriptures. Rather than a historical document, or ancient text, these words are meant as a personalized message that has been tried and true. The Bible is evidence that our Father truly loves us beyond measure. 

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” - Tim Keller
