Growing up, I kept every greeting card ever given to me. I had cards from my early birthdays. Cards from other occassions such as graduations, Christmases, Valentine's Day. Eventually I had to start throwing cards away. But I kept special cards and they are in box somewhere. Most of them are from people who are long gone such as grandparents and great aunts and such. Occassionally I will come across those cards and look at them. I cherish those cards from people such as my grandmothers.
The Bible is often referred to as a "love letter from God." We come back to it and read it and re-read it because it's God's word to us. Re-reading words I have already read... I see new insights... I have more knowledge now than before (hopefully!) and I glean new information each time I read the words.... some parts obviously mean more to me than others.... But I cherish the Bible as I cherish cards and letters from family and friends.
How do you approach reading the Bible?
