Highlight Verse[s]: Psalm 118:23-24 [NKJV] ... 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number. He calls them all by name. By the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing.

… When we consume God’s truth thru His love letter, we realize just how much He loves all who know our Savior as Lord.
My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Xochitl Dixon, uses a reference to a children’s book to illustrate how God’s love letter to us, the Bible (see photo), is His personal declaration of love to all who know Him as Lord and Savior. … The ODB author wrote: In Love Letters from God, Glenys Nellist invites children to interact with the Lord in a deeply personal way. These children’s books include a note from God with a space for the child’s name to be inserted after each Bible story. Personalizing scriptural truth helps her young readers understand that the Bible isn’t just a storybook. They’re being taught that the Lord wants a relationship with them and that He speaks to His greatly loved children through the Scriptures.
I bought the book for my nephew and filled in the blanks in the beginning of every note from God. Delighted when he recognized his name, my nephew said, “God loves me too!” What a comfort to know the deeply and completely personal love of our loving Creator.
And that’s the message Francesca Battistelli sings about in the linked song, which I hope all readers here have taken the time to hear. It expresses just how much God loves His children and that’s you and me;. And it’s the reason why He sent us His love letter, … The Bible, … to express to us … PERSONALLY … that He was willing to send His Son to die for us to show the extent of His love.
And I pray that others, like me each day, love our Lord enough to meditate on God’s word, … to take to all in daily, … by faith, … believing His very personal love, and being lifted up to live by its truth.
=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, ... for Your love letter which I take in each morning to read and know of Your love for ME.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading here will join me, to consume God’s love letter and then so all we can to live by it. … Amen
