God's Love Letter to Me

First Corinthians chapter 13


Personalized:

Oh, Bonnie, I want you to love others the way I love you. No matter what you say, what you do, what you believe, it all amounts to nothing at all without love. When you love others with my love, Bonnie, this is how it will look: You will be patient, you will be kind. You will not envy or boast, or be proud. You will not be rude or self-seeking or easily angered, keeping no record of wrongs. You will find no delight in any evil, but you will rejoice when the Truth wins out. You will always protect, always trust, you will always have hope, and you will never give up. 

Bonnie, your love will never fail because My love for you will never fail. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge of this world, it will pass away when it will no longer be needed. For everything you know in this world is only a small part of My story for you, Bonnie. 

Remember when you were a child--your understanding was so limited and was reflected in how you spoke, thought and reasoned; but now as an adult you've grown past all those childish ways. In that same way, while you're living this life you are limited--you see as in a dim reflection of the Reality I am preparing for you; you only know a small part of what I shall reveal to you when you see Me face-to-face, and I teach you everything in full. 

So now, hold on to these three: Your faith in Me, your hope in all I have already promised you, and My love in you to share, because everything I do is from My love for you. I AM LOVE.

Love,
Dad
