What is the desire of your heart? What do you want to do with
your life? Your time? For as long as I
can remember, I’ve wanted to write. Not
just write, but to be a writer. But life happened – children (I am blessed with
many), struggles, victories, happy occasions and not so happy occasions.
Now….now I can write!
I love writing Christian fiction. As Christians I feel God has equipped
each of us with various gifts and talents to share the gospel. Some people will never pick up a Bible, but
maybe they’ll read a story or blog or novel you’ve written.
The Bible says in Psalms 37:4 (NIV) “Delight yourself in the
Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” My heart desires many things, and writing is
one of those things. Can I write? Do I write? Yes! But am I delighting myself
in the Lord?
I know that I know that I know that God loves me unconditionally.
He has a plan and a purpose for me. In that alone, I should take great delight.
The God of the universe, He who spoke the worlds into existence, cares about
me. He knows my name.
I have to be reminded to commit my writing to Him. Are you
committing this desire to God? I encourage you to pray God’s blessings over
your writing.
What a great reminder to stay focused on God instead of chasing after the desires of our hearts.
ReplyDeleteBe a God-chaser, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
I'm gonna tatoo that on my brain!
