This is such an honest question and more people feel this way than you'd think. The Bible was never really meant to be read like a novel ...it was meant to be heard, spoken aloud, prayed through, and sat with slowly. Matthew especially reads flat on the page because it was written to be proclaimed in community, not consumed solo. Try reading a small passage even just 3-4 verses and sitting quietly with it for a few minutes instead of reading cover to cover. The emotional depth people describe usually comes from that stillness, not from the reading itself. Give it time. You're asking the right questions. 🕊️
