Your Bible isn’t just a book to be read—it’s a living, breathing part of your journey with God. One thing I’ve always believed is that you should write in your Bible. Make it personal. Mark it up. Fill it with the moments that matter in your spiritual walk.
When you write in your Bible, you’re doing more than underlining verses—you’re documenting your growth, your prayers, your struggles, and your victories. It’s a record of how God has moved in your life.
I always tell people to write where they were, who they were with, what church they were at, and what the message was. Why? Because one day, someone will pick up that Bible—maybe your child, a friend, or even a stranger—and they’ll see the evidence of your faith. They’ll see the places where God met you in your pain, your joy, and your searching.
For me, it’s about making my Bible active. I don’t just want it to sit on a shelf. I want to engage with it, let it speak to me, and respond with my own words. I want my Bible to be worn, well-loved, and full of notes that tell the story of my journey with Jesus.
Whether it’s underlining verses that speak to your heart, jotting down prayers, or simply marking important dates, make your Bible a reflection of your walk with God. Years from now, when someone opens it, they’ll find more than words on a page—they’ll find your story of faith.
To hear more on this subject and more, tune in to Season 6, Episode 2 of the Joystarters Podcast. The Power of Connection: Planting Legacy, Living Purposefully. In this episode I share thoughts on living intentionally, praying with purpose, and the ripple effect of acts of kindness. Whether it's showing up in the lives of others, creating meaningful connections, or planting trees you'll never sit under, I hope this episode inspires
you to live boldly, serve selflessly, and—most importantly—be a doer in life.
