Love Letters

My beloved parents, 1944
Mt. Rubidoux, California

The LORD said, "I have loved you, My people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to Myself." (Jer. 31:3)

My parents had only been married a few months when Daddy shipped overseas in World War II. As the soldiers passed under the Golden Gate Bridge toward the South Pacific, Daddy said that tears streaked the cheeks of their commanding officer. Over his two year deployment, Daddy and Mother wrote love letters to each other every, single day.

From Moses to the Apostle John, the books of the Holy Bible were written at different times by various authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years - sixty-six love letters from Almighty God, the Lover of people.
