The Best Companion
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! —1 John 3:1

Some people looking for love have found help in an unusual place—a taxicab in New York City. Taxicab driver Ahmed Ibrahim loves to set up blind dates for his single passengers. His matchmaking services have been featured on the Fox News Channel, The Wall Street Journal, and NBC’s Today show. He doesn’t assist just anybody though; they have to be serious about looking to settle down with someone. Ahmed loves to help romance blossom, and he even hands out roses on Valentine’s Day.

The best place to find love is not in another person but in a book, the Bible. The Bible tells of God’s great love for us. This is expressed in what my friend called the best love note she had ever received. It’s found in John 3:16.
                                For God so loVed the world,
                                      That He gAve
                                           His onLy
                                           BegottEn
                                                 SoN
                                                     That whoever
                                       Believes In Him
                                         Should Not perish,
                                       But have Everlasting life.

God loves us like no one else ever could. He showed that love when He sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. He’s also the best companion we’ll ever have.

Open your Bible and learn more about Him.
  — Anne Cetas

The more you read the Bible, the more you’ll love its Author.
