Love… Is A Letter

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (NIV)

Who doesn't want to get a love letter? Written “evidence” praising our value– listing our virtues and lifting us up!

Paul's Epistles did a lot of lifting, but one small chapter does very much more. It reveals a key to our destiny…

He describes Christians as God's Epistles: His walking, talking, living love letters– portraying Christ's Heart to the whole wide world!

Even more than pen, ink, and commandments, God created live communicators: precious carriers of His affection– not just for each other as believers, but for others who don't yet know their worth and urgently need to hear it from Him.

This realization puts the purpose of media in a splendid new light: one where God's stars are rising and shining!

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

In the age before airborne media (99+% of Earth’s timeline), pen and ink or personal messenger… were the only means of communication with people not in the same location.

Embrace your role as the Lord’s Love Letter! If you think about it every morning, you’ll LIVE what Satan would have you forget. God’s lonely sheep will read His love in you!

Love… Is A Letter (Part 51)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God! We’re all called to be actors (action stars) for Jesus. We’re all called to be models of Jesus. We all have gifts, talents, and a commission to multiply them in the world for His glory.

P.S. NO DEVOTION, PREACHER, or SERMON… can begin to replace personal time in the Bible. I wholeheartedly and clear-headedly recommend DAILY BIBLE READING.

WARNING: Don’t focus on your favorite verses, because taken out of context, they’re often misinterpreted. I plead with you to READ AT LEAST 1 BIBLE CHAPTER DAILY. How long does it take? An average of 5 to 10 minutes!
