你們明顯是基督的信，藉著我們修成的。不是用墨寫的，乃是用永生上帝的靈寫的；不是寫在石版上，乃是寫在心版上。—哥林多後書3章3節
As a child, I loved it when my mom read to me. I would sit on her lap and listen to every word. As she read, I examined the details of every picture and waited eagerly to hear what was on the next page.
Have you ever thought about the idea that our lives tell a story? In every situation—good, bad, or indifferent—people around us are watching and listening to the story we are telling. Our story is communicated not only through our words but also through our attitudes and actions as we respond to life’s buffetings and blessings. Our children and grand-children, spouses, neighbors, and co-workers can all observe the story we’re telling.
Paul reminds us that as followers of Jesus, our lives are like letters “known and read by all men; . . . an epistle of Christ . . . written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God” (2 Cor. 3:2-3).
What is the story that those around us are reading through the letter of our lives? Stories of forgiveness? Compassion? Generosity? Patience? Love?
If you’ve experienced the joy of a grace-filled life that comes from the Spirit of God in you, then welcome to the joy of being one of God’s great storytellers!
tell the story of Your goodness and grace.
May we be a bold witness of You.
Use us in ways we never thought possible.
小時候，我喜歡聽媽媽說故事。我坐在她的腿上，當她閱讀時，我會仔細地看著每幅圖畫，不放過每個細節。同時，巴不得趕快聽到下一頁的內容。
你是否想過，我們的人生不也在說著一則故事嗎？不論是高峰低谷，或平淡無奇，我們周遭的人，都在審視和聽著你我的故事。我們的故事不單透過言語，也透過我們面對順境與逆境時的態度和行動來傳達。我們身旁的伴侶、兒女、孫子、鄰舍和同事，全都在看著我們所說的這則生命故事。
保羅提醒我們，我們身為基督徒，行事為人就如同一封書信那樣，是「被眾人所知道、所念誦的……是基督的信……不是用墨寫的，乃是用永生上帝的靈寫的。」（哥林多後書3章2-3節）
想想看，別人從我們的生命裡所讀到的，會是怎樣的故事呢？是充滿饒恕、恩慈、慷慨、忍耐、愛心的故事嗎？
如果你因著上帝的靈住在心裡而歡喜快樂，且經歷充滿恩典的人生，那麼歡迎你，一同來享受為上帝說故事的喜樂吧！
願我生命如本書；
寫滿主恩和慈仁，
引領萬人歸向主。
