Written upon the heart!

2 Corinthians 3:3  clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. 

Ezekiel 36:26-27  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27  I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 

Before a life can be read by others, it must first be written upon by God. Paul tells us that we are letters of Yeshua (Jesus), written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. A living epistle begins in the hidden places, where the Spirit forms character long before actions are visible.

The inner life matters because whatever is written on the heart eventually flows into the world. When the Spirit writes truth within us, our responses change. Our desires align. Our reactions soften. Integrity grows where compromise once lived. The new creation is not shaped from the outside in, but from the inside out. God’s handwriting appears first in our thoughts, motives, and affections.

A heart formed by the Spirit becomes a safe place for God’s presence to dwell. It is not hurried, defensive, or divided. It is attentive, teachable, and yielded. This inner work is often unseen, but it is never insignificant. The clearest epistles are written slowly, deeply, and faithfully.

Beloved, yield your inner life to the Spirit of the living God. Let Him write truth where lies once lived, peace where fear once ruled, and holiness where compromise once lingered. Do not rush the work of God within you. What He writes in secret will be read openly. Let your heart become His parchment, and your life His message.
