This was a Christmas card I received one year, and the saying really made an impact.
The Word did not become a philosophy, a theory or a concept to be discussed, debated or pondered But the Word became a person to be followed, enjoyed and loved!
Roy Lessin
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14 NKV
If we take this to heart, and let that affect how we treat the scriptures, like a letter from a beloved friend that we miss a great deal. Or like a dear friend that we want to spend time with. If a scripture "hurts" or "offends" talk to God, ask for discernment, is it trying to reproof you of something? If not, ask for encouragement and peace keep studying that scripture, it may hold something very healing once you understand it.
