we are letters.

it is always neat for me to think that my name is written on the heart of the Lord. not that i deserve such adoration, but what a beautiful gift to realize and deeply cherish. and in turn, our lives are represented as letters for those to see. we are to be transparent and willing to share our lives with others in order for them to see Christ. in that way, to be open and honest and sincere and submissive in order to please our Father. and to serve others is how we, in turn, know Him more deeply. putting ourselves second in a world that tells us we are #1 all the time. how difficult and so against our nature it is to strive to be something valuable not in this world, but in a completely different world. to act for eternal value instead of earthly value, which fades away so quickly. what a beautiful thing it is to be a letter hand-written by the Living God. my focus verses for this are 2 corinthians 3:2-3. but i truly loved reading 2 corinthians 3-4. such beautiful words that i cannot help but encourage you to read them in their fullness. i pray you feel His incredibly unfathomable love today. oh, how He loves us.
