2 Corinthians 3:2-3 "You are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by all...written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God..."
Have you ever thought about the idea that our lives tell a story? In every situation—good, bad, or indifferent—people around us are watching and listening to the story we are telling. Our story is communicated not only through our words but also through our attitudes and actions as we respond to life’s buffetings and blessings.
Paul reminds us that as followers of Jesus, our lives are like letters "...known and read by all.. written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God..." Our children and grand-children, spouses, neighbors, and co-workers can all observe the story we’re telling.
What is the story that those around us are reading through the letter of our lives? Stories of forgiveness? Compassion? Generosity? Patience? Love? If you’ve experienced the joy of a grace-filled life that comes from the Spirit of God in you, then welcome to the joy of being one of God’s great storytellers!
