2 Corinthians 3:3
“You show that you are a letter from Christ… written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God.”
Recently I read the following "Your life is being read—every day, by someone." Agree or disagree? I think whether we recognize it or not, our choices, attitudes, words, and reactions form a message. According to Paul, as today's reading suggests, the message is far more than just our personality, our character, or reputation; it is a letter from Christ, written by the Holy Spirit, meant to reveal to others what God is like.
Imagine that, You and me, says our scripture, are living documents of God’s ongoing work in a human life. We are not perfect or flawless, but we are letters that are deeply real.
Now, this does not mean pretending to have it all together. Authenticity carries the most impact. When our story reflects real struggle, growth, and transformation. When we allow God to write our stories, as we have been saying this week, even the messy, confusing, and broken chapters, God creates a story worth reading. A story that points beyond ourselves, to Him, a story that brings glory to our Creator.
Take a moment and think about the people whose lives have shaped your faith. Can you picture them? See their face? Now, were they perfect? Probably not. However, they were faithful. Honest. Hopeful. Willing to let God use their joys and pains to reveal that he is a Good, Good Father.
Our lives are a message. Our faith in the face of loss, our joy in the midst of uncertainty, our grace toward those who wrong us, all of these are lines in the letter God is writing through us.
So the question isn’t whether our lives are telling a story. The question is: what kind of story are they telling?
Let Us Pray
