Letters from Christ

 2 Corinthians 3:3 says that as a Christian, 'you are a letter from Christ...not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.'

What a beautiful picture!  And what a great responsibility!

God uses our lives to share His message to the world. We are sealed with the stamp of Jesus on our lives.  This seal is not just at face value, it should dictate who we are from all aspects of our life.

Does the way you live clearly state God's message to those around you? 
Is the content of your letter in line with God's nature, His Holiness, His love?
Do you write your letter boldly or is it faint and unreadable?
Do you write your letter consistently or are there large gaps between messages?
What does God want to say through your life today?

The Power of God's Promises

 I saw a video that showed a bird with its feet frozen to a pole.  A kind man saved it by holding it still and blowing softly on its feet.  His warm breath was all that was needed to release the bird.

What a beautiful picture for us!

How often are we frozen in fear, paralyzed by hurts and emotional hang-ups?  Yet God is right there holding us still and breathing His promises on our life that will release us from our prison.

What promises do you need to hear today?
