Everyday Love Letters for Christians

There are numerous excellent inspirational Christian books available for almost every type of reader, the most prolific being calendar-based where messages combined with selected Bible verses are presented for every day of the year. This smaller format pocketbook containing 90 letters is different in that it's we who write to the Lord. He is after all our Father and we, his children. These letters focus on the ordinary and how we might find meaning in unlikely places; but however we might want to frame our thoughts, writing letters has the potential to lead to great personal spiritual growth. Each letter ends with a short prayer to set the mind for when it's time to pick up our own Bible and explore the full context of God's word. Let's start writing letters and may they bear fruit for they are own unique precious conversations with the Lord through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Everyday Love letters for Christians is a call to Christians to find joy again in the simple act of letter writing. Whether it's a letter to say goodbye, of encouragement, to say sorry, to teach, or just to share news and ideas, letters are capable of transforming the way we think. It's something we've forgotten about because of the convenience of instant communication but it's intriguing to think back on lives lived, how easy it is to understand things better from words written down on paper. It's the modest letter which somehow still manages to most exquisitely capture the meaning and emotion in a message. We know how the Bible itself is a compilation of handwritten letters; and Paul's use of letters was to inspire people to spread the good news. So, for Christians today it's useful to hold on to the tradition of letter writing while we're here, for the very short time that we're here. Let's then encourage one another with love, to restore the value of, and role played by, handwritten letters in Christian faith.
