Why do I write and why does anyone ever
read what I write? I mean, my blog is
one blog in an ocean full of blogs.
There are beautiful blogs about homes and hobbies. Blogs about families and singers mixed in
with a myriad other categories. There
are blogs that preach, teach and exhort.
Every few months I take stock to ask
myself “why”. It’s definitely not for
recognition and status. If you are
seeking to read words of someone you think “has answers”, it is not me. I am no great leader, author, speaker or
dispenser of wisdom. I’m someone who
simply loves Jesus and who firmly believes that He loves us lavishly, deeply
and thoroughly.
I write because words stir within my
soul. Sometimes I cannot sleep until I
give them expression. Often the words
are the prayers of my heart to Him and for the reader whose heart seeks after
Him.
I write because He nudged me to share
publicly what I have often written privately, on pen and parchment within the
covers of many journals.
I write because it stretches me and
moves me far away from my comfort zones.
I am a signpost on this journey of
faith that points others to Him.
I am a clay vessel that pours out the
treasures that He has given in offering to others.
I write and miraculously you show up to
read and to comment. This humbles me,
greatly.
Please,
I am not concerned with compliments as I know I would write even if no-one ever
reads.
I
am curious though in finding out why do you read blogs and what kind of blogs
you like to read (this is not fishing for comments about my own), I really am
curious.
I
would love to hear your comments.
Blogs-- yes-- I do blog too!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love are the Christian blogs--
In Revelations 12:11
It says: "They overcame him (Satan) because of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony."
In congregations of the 1970s and '80s many opportunities were given to believers to speak their testimony of what Christ had done for them--
now days I feel only the Pastor, Priest, etc. are allowed a voice-- and it's mostly about the 3 Ns--
Nickels (tithing), Noises (music ministry) and Numbers (how many said the sinner's prayer).
I get excited reading the blogs of real people-- who write about their faith-- I truly believe that is a form of ministry in itself.
Keep on blogging!
YOU ARE INVITED TO VISIT my blog where you will find my testimony and statement of faith as well as various topics the Lord has lead me to write.
