{{Today is Friday!!!ĆĀ It is the day I link with Lisa Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday. Here is how it worksā¦. One word prompt. Five minutes. No editing. Lots of women. Everyone writes on the same word. Equals a great time.}}
Today the word is … Write.
To write each day scares me. Writing lets others into the recesses of my heart and mind, areas that I prefer to keep to myself. And yet, I started writing my posts for my children. My desire was for them to know their mother in a more intimate way. Writing would leave them a lasting legacy of words.
I saw the word, write, and all that hit me is there is One Who has left me all His thoughts in a written book. He has left me a guide to a spiritual legacy which is greater than any human legacy.
His words matter.
His words have been preserved for all eternity.
His words will live on and on throughout all generations.
That is something that astounds me. There never has been, nor will there ever be, a generation without God’s Word available to them.
And He takes the time to write them on my heart.
“I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (Hebrews 8:10, NIV).
As I write each day may I share my heart, openly and freely and yes, bravely.
And more so, I pray…
May the words I write be a reflection of the words He has written on my heart.

Oh yes, friend, the His words matter so much! And so do the ones that He lays on our hearts to write. So glad to be on the journey with you. Much love!
May He continue to write on our hearts, Holly!
Hi Joanne,
I have always been much better putting my thoughts into words; never have had that wonderful gift of gab~ha! Your writing is always an inspiration and blesses me every time I visit sister! I love the the words God puts in your heart to share! š
Blessings and love,
Denise
Thank you so much for your encouragement! May we always share His words and not our own. Have a blessed weekend!
Oh, I love how you tied this writing prompt back to God’s word. What a wonderful reminder that He wrote so much for us and how sweet those words are. I also wrote this week about being brave with our writing when it seems so scary. It might resonate with you as well: http://www.leeanngtaylor.com/findingthehero/. Hope you have a blessed weekend!
The words He has written speak to us each time we stop to read. So grateful for that. Am coming to visit you š
God takes the time to write His word on your heart…I love that.
It truly is amazing to think about. Thank you for stopping here!
What beautiful words that you have written. I also struggle with writing, but I also know the Writer. The Word and word is a powerful thing.
Thank you for linking up Beauty Observed!
