Heed the words divinely spoken, may your restless heart be broken

I once heard someone call the bible Gods' love letter to us. It always stayed with me as a beautiful way to look at it. I remember back in grade 9 when I was 14 and started dating the man I am now married to (for over a decade), we used to write a lot of letters back and forth (I still have many of those letters). I would read them over more then once and analyze every sentence. Although it was a lot of fun to read them over, I've noticed the big difference between reading over a letter from a mere man and reading over and over a divine love letter that comes from The One who has ALL wisdom and knowledge packaged up for us. His message to us comes through many Authors, inspired by HIS Spirit. Written in many writing styles - different parts appeal or teach us in different ways. But the overriding message is clear: This is a LOVE letter. One Crazy transforming love letter, meant to teach us, equip us for everything, guide us, and help us know HIM better. A very cool thing about a divine love letter is that no matter how many times you read it there is a new message in there for you to speak to you in a different way. Things often jump off the pages in a passage I am familiar with, in a new way to give me a fresh take on it! And just as new meaning can be found in it time after time, it has the power to breath new life into those reading it. The words have the power to set people free.

Pages filled with a holy message
Sealed with a kiss from heaven
On a scroll long ago
Phrases, words that were bound together
Now have the power to sever
Like a sword evermore
Heed the words divinely spoken
May your restless heart be broken
Let the supernatural take hold


There is love in the red letters
There is truth in the red letters
There is hope for the hopeless
Peace and forgiveness
There is life in the red letters
In the
red letters


One man came to reveal a mystery
Changing the course of history
Made the claim he was god
Ageless, born of a virgin mary
Spoke with a voice
that carried through the years
Its perseverence


What you say moves me, revelation, come and take me
The more I look the more I see
The word of God is what I need
its the book of love yeah, Its
the book of love
Speak to me, breathe in me new life
Let him in your
heart
