"Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This 'letter' is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts. We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant."
2 Corinthians 3:3–6
Encouragement for Today
"This passage is a good reminder that we cannot do anything of lasting value on our own. Our only power and success come from God. We need to seek him, to ask him to empower us to participate in the work he's already doing in the world. Trust God and leave the results up to him to interpret. Let God define what success is."—Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
We are a letter from Christ to a lost and dying world. We are a living testimony of the changing power of our living Savior. How we live our lives matters. On our own we are nothing and can do nothing. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, our lives become His Words in Action! Are you trusting in Him today? Are you living for Him today? What are people reading in the letter your life is writing? Does it speak for Jesus Christ?
In His Love, Cathy
