Knowing and Loving Jesus Will Cause Us to Treasure Scripture

A young lady purchased a book and read a few pages--but was not interested in it. Some months afterwards she met the author--and a tender friendship sprang up, ripening into love and marriage. Then the book was dull no longer. Every sentence had a charm for her heart. Love was the interpreter!

In the same way, to those who do not know Christ personally, the Bible seems dry and uninteresting. But when they learn to know Him, and to love Him--then all is changed! The deeper their love for Him becomes--the more do the sacred pages glow with beauty and light!

"O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day!" Psalm 119:97

(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")
