writing letters

did you know that writing letters is a great thing to do? when I was young, like many, many moons ago, I loved to write letters to pen pals, to my cousins who were in the armed forces, to friends and just family everywhere, and when I received letters from them, I was excited to read them. Nowadays, we have the e-mail, technology has made the process a lot easier, however; there is something about receiving the letter that is so special. But, you know this process of letter writing is not something new, it was done many many years ago, not only by the world but by the Church of Jesus also. This morning, I read letters that were written years ago by the Apostle John to the Churches in Asia. It warmed my heart, blessed my soul and gave me such encouragement, because each closing statement of each letter, those who have ears, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the Church. The thing about letters is, it can be preserved, e-mails cannot unless they are printed out. Letters are kinda hard to be forged. Letters are wonderful because they inspire and does something to all those who read it. Would you like to read some of the most wonderful and inspiring letters in the world? If you do, pick up your bible and turn to the New Testament and start reading from Matthew to Revelations, all those are letters written by the early apostles and disciples of Jesus to you and I nowadays... I wonder what would happen if all of us christians will continue this process of writing letters?

I pray you will be a writer of letters like Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul and many others....
