When I look at this old beat-up typewriter... I can only hear the beautiful melodic keys and wonder who it belonged to and how many lives it touched with the words of LOVE. (lg)
Meaning of the word epistle one of the letters adopted as books of the New Testament: a liturgical lection usually from one of the New Testament Epistles. A formal letter
Epistles make up the majority of the Bible’s New Testament. Of the 27 books, 21 are epistles.
A letter is a written message conveyed from one person to another. Is writing a letter a dying art? Think what is the last letter you have formally written? It used to be the most used method of sharing your thoughts and your heart across the world... These Letters can be formal or informal.
In today’s environment, we use quick notes and short text... It’s quick and all punctuations, salutations, and letter forms... are nonexistent and this is considered normal ... Even spelling ... who could get by without spell check???
When I began to ponder this word.. my mind went to a time where letters brought messages of love... Possibly a soldier who is far away from home and this letter is his only connection to home... How excited He became to get any news. Some letters even carried a hint of perfume that reminded him of that special love.
When we look at the Bible which during this word study we have determined it’s a beautiful love story written by souls who loved our Heavenly Father, His beautiful son, and the Holy Spirit.
For example, we have Paul who used this art form to teach and to share his knowledge and heart about a greater love. He wrote many letters he had a burning desire to show anyone who would read or listen the direction home.. (into our Fathers loving arms)
So again I ask you? When is the last time you have written a formal letter? When is the last time you have written a love letter? Have we forgotten how?
One of the most known verses is. We love because he first loved us”
(1 John 4:19). When is the last time you told Him I love you?
So that said, I challenge you to close off the outside world. Turn off your phone, play music that moves your soul... dust off your pen, grab a piece of paper, and pour out your heart and soul to your first LOVE... Write that formal letter let Him know how you feel... I will start ...
Dear LOVEs,
You are my beautiful 3n1. I love you more than life itself.
Be inspired, and open your heart... Be His beloved...
(tears are allowed)
It's Him. It’s always Him❤!!!!
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.
1 John 4:7-8 -
