Why Write?

Maybe you would like to tell stories that capture the imaginations of lots of people. Maybe you know you need to get better at expressing your thoughts on paper. Maybe you've been reading great books and saying to yourself, "I could write a good book too!"

What about writing as a way to spread the message of God's hope?

Everything we do can help others see how God's hope is here for them. No matter how old we are, God can use our obedience to reveal Himself to the people around us. We'll talk more in another post about dreaming big, but right now we can think about our immediate circles of friends and family. You can impact others for God, even if you think you're too shy or quiet.

Imagine if you wrote something and shared it with one other person. Maybe you let them read a poem or a short story you wrote. Lots of times the people around us are going through things that they don't tell anyone else about.

The poem or story you share may be a glimpse of light that will help that person get through a dark time.

God can use you! Don't begin to believe a lie that you don't matter. God gave you something to say. He gave you a way to say it; with kind acts, works of art, written and spoken words and lots of other expressions of His heart. He wants you to be involved in showing His love and hope to the people around you.

This blog will be a way we can connect and encourage each other about writing. Please comment, let your voice be heard here especially!

Have you ever shared something you wrote? How hard was it to let someone read it?
