The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

II Corinthians 3:2-4, “You are our letter, written in our hearts,

known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a

letter of Christ, cared for 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. 4 And such confidence we have through Christ

toward God.”

Thus far in life, you’ve probably been called a lot of things.

But did you ever think of yourself as being a letter? Well,

whether you like it or not, you are. You are a letter. It’s as

if everyone you meet sees your parents in you. “Oh, you’re

so-and-so’s son –or daughter? I should have known. Your

characteristics are just like your Dad –or your Mom. If I didn’t

know better, I’d think you were they.”

Well, you are a letter written in our hearts and you are read

by everyone you meet. What’s more, you are a letter concerning

Jesus Christ. He makes you different, and people see Him in you.

If you stop and think about it, everyone who is a born-again

believer in Christ Jesus looks different than those you know

who are not. We just jog along through life often not thinking

how we look to others. But we are representatives of Him, just

as we are of our parents (and grandparents!). How we dress,

how we speak, how we act, where we go, what we do –all of

it reflects for or against Him, who loves us and gave Himself

for us. Always look and be your best. You are a child of the King!

We love you and hold you in our daily prayers,
