Have you ever received a love letter? Or perhaps a little note of encouragement and affirmation from a friend or relative which has lifted your spirits and filled you with joy? That feeling when you read those words intended for you is unlike any other—your heart becomes warm and light, your worries dissipate, and your perspective is brightened because of the promises and encouragements found in those words.
