The Prompt: Write about your Bible from its POV.
I'm not as young as I used to be. My cover aches often from all the bumps, nicks, and scratches I've suffered. Yet, despite the outward harm I've suffered, my pages feel youthful still. They are still crisp in areas, relatively clean, and have no highlighter marks on them. Instead, my spine is tickled from all the bookmarks that are constantly stored in me. Four or five of them constantly stuck in your pages can wear a Bible down, but I don't mind too much. It means I'm serving a purpose.
I'm always happy whenever I get taken off the shelf and used. It's rejuvenating to have fingers flipping my pages and eyes scanning over my words, learning what God wants to share. I have so much potential encouragement in me that sometimes I get frustrated that I'm not used more. I know I can help more than readers give me credit for. It's my dream to be in use for the entire day! At least I can take comfort knowing that I am helping my reader now.
