Good Morning,
I am enjoying a hot cup of Door County Spiced Apple Pie Coffee. All is quiet in the house and it is time to write.
I was chatting with a young man last week and he was talking about how since he started reading his Bible, he seems hungry for more.
It made me think and pause the clock for a minute. Back when I was a child, long distance phone calls were expensive. Both sets of my grandparents were long distance calls. Neither grandparents were rich so a phone call from them was considered a treat.
1 John 4;19 NKJV We love Him because He first loved us.
My grand father on my dad's side wasn't too talkative. But when your birthday rolled around he and grandma would call and he made it a point to talk with you. Just you. He would wish you a happy birthday and then talk about their next visit to see us or our next visit to them. I do believe that the phone call to me meant more than any card or the money inside the card. Even to this day, I often think about life's lessons I learned during those phone calls.
I too can recall when I discovered all of what the Bible has written within. I could not get enough either. I realized early on in my walk that God's Word is the number one way He speaks to us. I look forward to hearing from Him when He has something to say to me. When we delight in God's Word it becomes the desire of our heart and we want more.
I wasn't surprised when this young man told me about his adventures of following Christ. Like my grandfather, knowing him better and better made me love him more. It is the same with Christ, when we love the Author of the Bible we can't help but to love His word.
Food for thought.
Marty
