By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his
commandments.
A few years ago, the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, MO made public 1,300 recently
discovered letters that the late President wrote to his wife, Bess, over the course of a half-century.
Mr. Truman had a lifelong rule of writing to his wife every day they were apart. He followed this
rule whenever he was away on official business or whenever Bess left Washington to return to
Independence. Scholars are examining the letters for any new light they may throw on political
and diplomatic history. Imagine that! Every day he was away, the President of the United States
took time out from his dealings with the world's most powerful leaders to sit down and write a
letter to his wife.
Love requires work.
(1 John 5:2
NRSV)
A myth in our culture is that love comes naturally. It's easy. That's not true of course! We have to
continually work at relationships.
Dear God, continue to show me the way to work on the love I have for you. Amen.
