It wasn’t written to make me happy

read_Bible It wasn’t written to make me happy
It wasn’t written to make me smart
It wasn’t written to make me self-fulfilled

It was written to make me holy
Like He is holy

Yet
When I read it I find joy
When I read it I find wisdom
When I read it I find purpose

Because when I read it
I find Him

I want to know more
But knowing more is not my goal
My goal is becoming more

More
Like Him

So I read the words
And eat the words
Because within the words

Is Life in the Word
Him
