You are living letters written by Christ,
not with ink but by the Spirit of the
living God.
2 Corinthians 3:3 TPT
Shortly
after, I heard someone talking about the same thing, only from a different
slant: “Are you reading the room or is the room reading you?”
Some
call our lives a book, others a letter written to the people around us. If that’s
true, what message are we sending? What is our life saying to others? Or maybe
the better question is what should our life be saying to others?
The
apostle Paul said, “You are living letters written by Christ, not with ink but
by the Spirit of the living God.” And the previous verse says our letters are “recognized
and read by everybody.”
As
God’s children, we become new creations, replacing the old with the new. Our
sins are washed away, and we are made “as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18 NKJV). A
clean slate. That’s when the Holy Spirit begins to write our new story.
The
Word for You Today says, “Nothing
is more needed today than a living portrait of Jesus reflected in the lives of
His redeemed people. So, deliver your love letter to whoever crosses your path.”
Are you ready?
