Royal Love Letters
Samuel Logan Brengle
Read and study the Bible as two young lovers read and study each other's letters. As soon as the mail brings a letter from his sweetheart, the young man grasps it and, without waiting to see if there is another letter for him, runs off to a corner and reads and laughs and rejoices over it, and almost devours it. If he is a particularly desperate and demonstrative lover (Lord, make us desperate and demonstrative lovers of our Lord Jesus Christ), he will probably kiss it and carry it next to his heart till the next one comes.
Now, that is the way to read the Bible. It is God's will and testament. It is His own carefully written instructions as to what manner of people He would have us be; as to how we shall behave ourselves; what we shall do and not do; what our rights and privileges in Jesus are; what our peculiar dangers are; how we shall know our enemies and conquer them; how we shall enter into and constantly enjoy His favor, escape hell, and get safely home to Heaven.
