| “Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.” |
| —Isaiah 32:3 |
Here’s an apt reminder:
If we truly love someone, tell them often that we do. If we appreciate the joy that someone brings into our lives, acknowledge that often. If we feel gratitude for who someone is to us, don’t keep that to ourselves because we think it’s not “cool” to say it out loud.
Our decidedly evil American culture has convinced us that we should cavalierly take for granted far too many relationships. Yet, the reality is that each friendship is precious. We must determine to live our lives in such a way that we will have no regrets because we failed to tell someone how much he or she means to us.
We must understand that, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are loved by Him and He continually intercedes in our behalf with God our Father. This is the kind of love that Christ has for us. That is the kind of love—God’s agape love—that we must have for others. Part of loving others is telling them how much they mean to us. And, we should frequently tell our blessed Savior how much He means to us, as well.
