Love Letter Virus

Excellent or Praiseworthy is posted on Monday and Thursday nights.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life . . . no one comes to the Father but through Me.” — John 14:6

A few years ago a virus known as the “love letter” closed major industries and government offices. Many were prompted to open a letter written falsely under the title “love” only to find out that they had been lied to. It made computers crash and grown men cry.

In many ways the virus was a great reminder not to fall into the trap of reading a fake love letter. We can be tricked into thinking that what the world labels “love” is the real thing. That happiness can be found in our possessions, in our careers in the military, or in our physical beauty. We are sometimes lured into believing the lies in advertisements, newspapers, and television. But it is a love letter that only gives false hope. Open it and you find it isn’t true. Fall for it and our world can “crash” around you.

The best way to be sure that what we open is the real thing is by going back to the Bible. God’s love is the only love that lasts. Open His love letter—the Bible—and you open yourselves to the wonder of total, complete and free love. With Him you will not “crash” and you won’t be infected with a “virus.”

Questions to Share:

1. Have you ever thought that someone or something would bring you happiness, only to find out that it was a disappointment? What were the circumstances?

2. God’s love is real—better than anything the world has to offer. Take a moment to thank God for His only Son, Jesus Christ, who came to earth to show us The way, The truth, and The life. Do you know Him? Go to 4spirituallaws.com

Fighting Loneliness

My husband returned four months ago from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan. This was our first deployment, and we were stationed in the United Kingdom when he was given the orders. We quickly had to decide whether I would stay in the UK or return to the States to be closer to family while he was gone. My husband thought I would be happier being close to family, but I felt the Lord telling me to trust Him and stay in the UK, even if it meant I was going to be alone. This was a hard decision because I felt I was staring my biggest fear right in the face—I was going to be left alone in a foreign country while my husband went to war. Scary!

A Renewal of Marriage Covenant Vows

Covenant. Commitment. These are words we share in the Christian church, and in the Christian marriage. And sometimes, as a time of remembrance and renewal, couples will recite their wedding vows again to each other . . . as a sign that “what was true then is still true now.” Perhaps even more so.

“I’m So Angry!”

There is a story told about “two dogs” which battle within us. Some say it’s an Indian legend . . . some say it’s an old fable told long ago . . . but the story makes the rounds, and also makes a lot of sense. As the story goes, when a youngster comes to the old sage leader and asks why he feels so angry at unfair treatment, the older one explains, “It is as if there are two dogs inside of you. One is always good, peaceful, and loyal.
