That's You!


 

I was reminded the other day of the passage written by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians Chapter 3 about each of us being a letter written by God. This is the passage from part of that chapter taken from ‘The Message’ Bible,
 
 
“ ..….. Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you. Christ Himself wrote it – not with ink, but with God’s living Spirit; not chiselled into stone, but carved into human hearts – and we publish it. We couldn’t be more sure of ourselves in this – that YOU, written by Christ Himself for God, are our letter of recommendation. We wouldn’t think of writing this kind of letter about ourselves. Only God can write such a letter. His letter authorises us to help carry out this new plan of action. The plan wasn’t written out with ink on paper, with pages and pages of legal footnotes, killing your spirit. It is written with Spirit on spirit, His life on our lives!”
 
 
What really caused me to think, was that I am that letter and YOU are that letter, written by God for others to see and read. Just reflect on that, when you are with others, in the supermarket queue, at work, behind the wheel of your car or even waiting for your prescription at the Chemists. Others will see and hear you. You are God’s Ambassador and He has put His stamp on you. How are you doing with that?!
