Love Letter Virus

“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.”
