I love a good book. Audio books and e-books books are popular, but to me there is nothing like holding a book in your hands. Regardless of which form you choose, when you get right down to it, a book is one of the few things that really has the power to change someone’s life.
Books can contain information needed to learn a skill for a career, to think more clearly about a situation, to solve problems, to understand yourself better, or sometimes even to state the obvious in a relatable way. And, of course, many books are written for the story, simply for pure enjoyment.
But the Book of all Books contains the precepts on which we can build our lives, the precepts which cause us to turn to God Himself as our Life Changer, Holy Spirit as our Truth Teacher, and Jesus as our Savior. He changes us into his likeness from Glory to Glory (2 Corinthians 3:18), and a transformed life is the result.
The Apostle Paul says in this passage that the Corinthian people are “epistles written on our hearts…written not with ink but with the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of the human heart” (2 Corinthians 3:2-3). In essence, he is saying the we have become the books, when our lives reflect the truth of Christ.
Is your life a book others can read and find the story of God’s love written there? I pray that it is, and that those who read your book and mine, will find the hope only He can give, written on the pages of our hearts.
