"Forget Me Not"
12" x 16" oil on canvas
My oil painting above tells you what "love letter" this post is referring to. Yes, the Bible, God's Holy Word, is His love letter to us. In it he gives guidance, comfort, love, instruction, and especially His qualities and characteristics so that we can come to know Him and Jesus better by reading the Word. And as we come to know God better, we can't help but be filled with gratitude and love for Him.
The painting above is full of symbolism. The cup with the forget-me-not flowers on it is a reminder to always remember with gratitude what God has done for us...especially in sending Jesus as our Savior; the red rose symbolizes Jesus' shed blood; the yellow peace rose is for the peace only God can give; the eyeglasses are to tell you to read closely the Word; the water in the small vase symbolizes living water from Jesus and nourishes the soul with peace. And then the Bible, which is God's Love Letter to us. .... And it is also His Instruction Manual.
The excellent video below is very uplifting and it will conclude this Inspirational Weekend post.
It is titled, "God's Love Letter For You."
"The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. - Jeremiah 31:3
