The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Micah 6:8, “He has told you, O man, what is good;

And what does the LORD require of you

But to do justice, to love kindness,

And to walk humbly with your God?”

One of the simplest verses in the Bible that tells us

what the LORD requires of us. The Hebrew word

good (tob) also means, agreeable, pleasant. He

requires us to be just (mishpat) in all our dealings

with others. God hates injustice! Moreover, He

requires us to love kindness (chesed), which is

goodness and mercy –attitudes and actions that we

show to others around us. And finally, He requires

that we walk (live) humbly (tsana) before Him.

The LORD wants us to acknowledge Him as our

God and not act as if we were our own authority.

Now, we know. What will we do about it?

Nana and I are so proud of each of you. There

is not a snooty one among you all. We are always

better when we don’t think of ourselves as better.

But, we do need to recognize what gifts and talents

the LORD has given us. Just always remember

that the gifts are from Him, and not of yourselves.

They are always to be for His glory!

Love to you all,

Nana & Dado III
