the book

The other day, a friend of mine loaned me a book. It had been read many times over. When I held this book in my hands, I could tell it was treasured. As I looked at the book a question came to my heart…

If someone asked to borrow my bible, could they tell I treasured it? Could they tell that it has been read…or would the pages still be crisp because it is only opened on Sunday mornings…if at all? Why is it that we can read books time and time again, but the one book that is our guide, God’s Word…remains unopened? If someone asked to borrow your bible right this moment, would they have to wipe off the dust?
