“
I love you.”
Three simple syllables, yet three of the most precious words in the English language.
Those were the words my sister whispered in my ear moments before I went down the aisle to stand in her wedding. Those were the words I read in a letter from a friend when I was hurting. Those were the words my brother told me when he called me from hundreds of miles away in Ft. Benning, GA.. Those were the words scrawled on a note and left where I would find it. Those were the words my parents ended every telephone conversation with. Those were the last words my gramma ever told me.
“I love you.”
There are not three words more efficacious. They are words that minister a balm to the hurt, lend tender comfort to the sorrowful, bring sweet repose to the troubled soul, softens the hardest-of-hearts, wipes clean a slate marked with distrust and bitterness…
“I love you.”
Don’t underestimate the power behind those 8 letters. They can not be overused or uttered too often, if they are spoken in truth and authenticity. They are words that are necessary to be spoken, and they have the power to rectify relationships, heal broken trusts and release the hold of bitterness.
“I love you.”
It’s like a fragrant candle whose aroma clings to the hearer, bringing peace and hope. The flame of it warming the heart and bringing light to a relationship.
As the perfume of the rose clings to the hand that gives it, so does the ardor of the words, “I love you,” warm the heart that gave it.
Through the strength of your Savior, let His love shine through you as a beacon within the lighthouse, a hope flickering in the darkness, with a wisp of His holiness penetrating some soul, lighting the obscurity of their heart.

Wow, Brittney. I really like this post! I especially like the part that talks about how they cannot be overused if used in a genuine way. And yet at the same time, we don’t seem to ever use them enough!
