I sponsor a little girl from Compassion International and have sponsored her for about 8 years since she was at least 5. She is about 14 now and she just wrote me a letter that I got this month. We write back and forth every so often but this letter really got to me. She just got done celebrating "Love month" which is the month of March so I guess love was on her mind.
The strange thing about this letter was that she asked me, "How's your love life?" Well, for those who know me I don't have a love life with a human but I do with the Heavenly Father. She just said "Love life" and I'm not sure if she knows the Lord yet so I told her about my love life with Him. That question did challenge me too for a few days. I had to stop and think about it but it is good to do that in any relationships. Where are we going, how am I growing, helping the other person to grow, and can I do more or something differently.
Here is the letter that I wrote her:
Dear (her name),
Hi! I'm glad that you are doing good and staying busy with school and Compassion. Strange question but what is love month? What do you think matters most when it comes to love? (Theme of love month) To answer you question, "How is your love life", I don't have a man on this earth that I love yet. I'm still waiting for God to bring me the guy He has for me in His Timing. I believe if it is God's Will for me to marry then He will bring me a guy when the time is right.
If it is God's desire for me to be single and live just for Him then I'm great with that too. It would be great to have a guy to love on this Earth but no guy can ever reach the love Jesus has for us. We all will sin and fall short of the glory of God but He never will. Just think of that kind of love. A love that will never lose sight of you, a love meeting your every need, a strong love that you can always count on, and would die in your place. A love that would take your burners and sins on Himself because He loves you that much with an Unconditional love that no human can match.
I would rather be in a love like that and a relationship like that then be in an earthly one. Jesus died on the cross with your sins because he loves you that much. He wanted you to be free of all the bad things that hold you down and wants you to live for Him forever. Keep getting in the Bible to know His Love for you.
In Christ's Love, Tiffney
Did this letter make you think more about God's Love for you?
