A Weekly Routine

Every week I send a letter. Anonymously -- and with no return address.

Plain white envelope, typed address. A little stamp in the right hand corner.

I take it to the mailbox to have it sent on its way. Wondering when it will arrive at its destination.

Once it arrives, I don't know what's done with it. I don't know if it's loved, thrown away, forgotten, made fun of, or burned.

I know that it doesn't matter what happens to it - but that it's been sent.

Within the letter is another letter. A Letter in-fact that changes peoples lives daily.

Romans.

Upon printing the scripture, I plead with God....

Holy Spirit, plant Yourself in the letter. Open the eyes of the blind. Open the ears of the deaf. Make yourself known! Soften the steel of his heart. Let these letters show love and truth. Let them show the Gospel and the weight of You. Jesus catch him when he falls.

But Lord, if this is not your will for him, I'll be okay. I just want him to have the chance to see You like I do. God I plead with every cell inside me, Lord awake in him.



Until that day comes, I will continue my weekly routine.



Letter by Letter. Book by Book.


In Christ Alone.
