If you find reading the Bible difficult and even boring, then you’re probably reading it wrong. You’re likely to be reading it like a textbook…studying, analyzing, and scrutinizing the words, but never allowing the text to permeate your soul. However, the Bible is not a textbook, but rather a cherished love letter to be slowly and lovingly devoured in order to find the person Who wrote it inside. In John 21: 15-17, the risen Jesus asks Simon Peter this pointed question not once, not twice, but three times…causing Peter to honestly evaluate his relationship with the Lord. And in the end, Peter responses, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” When we read the Bible as a personal and endearing word to us…our love for God changes… transforming into an unconditional and sacrificial love for Him, and in turn, for others.
