Your lives are a letter written in our hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you. -2 Corinthians 3:2(NLT)
LETTER WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Your lives are a letter written in our hearts
Everyone can read it and recognize how you start
It tells others the story about God’s work in you
It shows how you are loved much and given a life anew.
So live honorable lives that is focused on Christ
When people read the letter, it will produce light
Your pure life will glorify your heavenly Father
It will bring joy and peace to your sisters and brothers.

As young as seven years old, I have written letters to my father who was mostly working abroad that time. I learned early that letters will connect me to him despite the distance we have between us. He worked as a surveyor in Engineering companies in different parts of the world building highways and roads. The letters somehow shortened the geographical distance between us. It made me know more about him. It is ironic that I knew him more than I knew those who lived close to me. Written communication is a good way to keep connected to someone. The bible tells us that our lives are letters written in our hearts and everyone can read it and recognize the good work that God is doing in our lives.
PRAYER
Lord, make my life continually shine for others to know you.
REFLECTION
How many people have you led to God because of your righteous living?
