[love letters]

Recently, Christopher bought me this really lovely and sweet and romantic book! It's really nice with a collection of different love poems by different people. The poems are really sweet and sincere. The nicest thing is that Chris doesn't just buy it and there! give it to me. But he said that he read through each one to make sure he meant what they say.

And reading them, one each day, makes me feel like Chris is reading those exact words to me. It really touches my heart and it feels very personal.

Then it makes me think: actually God does write love letters to us. And His love and words are more intense than these! The depth of His love is unfanthomable, yet, scribed in words through Psalmist, the life of different people, through Jesus and the letters written by the apostles.

Then it makes me feel bad for reading this book diligently everyday but failing to do it similarly in reading the Bible diligently. And not just without consistency but with lack of enthusiasm and excitement and anticipation and wonder. Quite the contrary of my response to the book :( it's sad. Really sad. While I'm appreciative of the book, I'm also guilt ridden for my attitude towards the Bible. Nonetheless, I'm still thankful that this book came by, to give me a reflection and draw a parallel. I hope I'll do something about it! Soon!

Here's the picture of the book:
