Series: The Living Gospel (Week 1: Uncovering Your Narrative)
Opening Prayer
Author of our Faith, help us to see our own lives as a story You are writing, a story that matters deeply to You and to the world.
Today’s Scripture (NLT)– 2 Corinthians 3:2-3
“You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry, a letter written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on human hearts.”
Do you ever feel like your life is too ordinary or your story is too insignificant to matter? The Apostle Paul gives us a breathtakingly different perspective. He says that our very lives are a “letter from Christ.” You are a living, breathing testimony, known and “read by all” the people you interact with every day.
Think about what this means. Your story is not a random collection of events; it’s a message. It’s a letter written not with simple ink, but with the “Spirit of the living God.” God Himself is the author, and He has inscribed a story of grace, transformation, and hope onto the tablet of your human heart. Your life is an ongoing demonstration of the Gospel’s power.
Before you ever say a word, your life is speaking. The way you handle pressure, the hope you carry in hard times, the change in your character—this is the living gospel that people are reading. Your story matters because God wrote it, and He intends for it to be read.
Disciples’ Life Tip: Ask yourself this reflective question today: “If my life is a letter, what is the main message people are reading from me this week?”
Closing Prayer: Lord, thank You for making my life a letter from You. Help me to live in such a way that the message people read is one of love, hope, and the reality of Your transforming power. Amen.
