We are letters of Christ

From today's reading: You are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, 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 3:3.

What a concept! We are letters of Christ - written by the Holy Spirit onto our very hearts. That makes us very special indeed. Our heart, when we are born, is imprinted with the image of God. Each time we experience the presence of God, through music, or scripture or the spoken word, or in reaching out to someone in need - each time our heart swells with knowledge of the presence of God, we add on to that letter, that image in our heart. God reaches out to us through sight, we see the created world around us; through hearing, we hear the beautiful sounds of God in creation; through through touch, feel a baby's face or a rose petal, or any of the wonderful things God has created; through smell, or taste, through feeling that are undefinable. Where is God reaching out to touch you today? How is He writing on your heart today? Each time we share what God has done for us, we in turn are helping God to write on the hearts of others. When we pass on what God has done for us we become active members of God's writing team.
