Somewhere in the house, there is a box full of letters that I received since I was in middle school. We are talking close to 30 years ago, and there are not just a few of them, but a whole box full of letters. I have to admit, they are mostly from girls. Over the years, I collected them and kept them somewhere in the house until I completely forgot about them as I grew up. It turns out, my parents had kept all my old belongings even after I became an adult and left home. A few years ago, my mom reminded me of the box full of letters and she gave it to me. I remember reading some of them, recollecting some good old memories from the past. 

Later in high school senior year and into college, this is when email became a thing, and we would email to each other all the time. In Korea, an email domain called “hanmail.net” was the most popular in the early 2000s and my Hanmail inbox would get filled up. We use emails mostly for businesses nowadays, but you will recall that we used to write emails in place of snail mails, where we talked about everything. This happened until we started using smart phones. I still have all those emails stored in my inbox. 

Some of you are like me, saving everything from the past about your memories, or you may have forgotten all of them and lost them. I am glad I still have those letters and emails with me. It’s not just my history, but it shows me the dynamics of my personality and the joyful relationships I had over the course of time. We actually have something even better. It’s called the Bible. Some people even call it the “Love letter from God to us.” I agree with that. The Bible was written to us thousands of years ago and yet, it still functions as the bread of life to us. It also functions as “All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16, 17. I pray that we will always take the time to read the love letter from God and be blessed by what He provides for us through the Scriptures.
