Message in a Bottle
Summer 2008
Imagine for a moment you’re at the beach and while you’re walking along the shore you see a bottle wash up on the sand. You walk over to pick it up and you see a rolled up tattered looking piece of paper inside. You begin to wonder…could there be a message inside? It’s as if for a moment you’re in a dream and you begin to wish there was a note written just for you. Maybe even a love letter…you pop the cork and begin to gently roll out the paper.
You can’t believe it, but the letter is addressed to you. You begin reading and you’re in utter amazement; it’s from an old friend. They ask, “What ever happened to you?” You used to stay in touch, you used to spend more time with me, you used to adore me.
The letter closes with these words…”I never left…I’m still here.” Could it be you’ve done this with God? Once you were excited about praying,studying the Bible, going to church and some-where along the way you’ve become way too busy. Don’t let these summer months keep you from the best friend you’ll ever have. His love is greater than anyone or anythi ng on this earth. He’s written you countless letters. I pray your love for His Word will grow.
I have loved you with an everlasting love...
Jeremiah 31:3
