Called to write
Good morning Beloved of the most high God! The scripture for today comes from Is.40: 6 & 9......A voice says call out. Then he answered saying,"What shall I call out?" ....Get yourself up on a high mountain, o Zion,bearer of good news,Lift up your voice mightily, O Jerusalem,bearer of good news. Lift it up,do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, "Here is your God."
A few years ago I attended a Christian Writers conference in Pittsburg. One of the teaching sessions was titled "Called to write." The speaker taught for an hour. I condensed her hours teaching to a few lines of poetry. I'd like to share....
CALLED TO WRITE
You are called to write the speaker implored,
Show me, don't tell me, write living words, make me hunger for more.
Hook the readers from the start, make us curious to go on.
Entice them with compelling words, until at last the story is done.
Inspire them a bit, touch their hearts or minds.
Get them quickly involved, becoming a part of the adventure they find.
Let your voice be heard to a receptive reader.
You can change a misdirected life, you can make it better.
You are called to write the exhorter declared.
Just write His answer and clothe it with prayer!
Shout it from the rooftops my friends....as for me I will write it in a shout God Bless because He is our HOPE! LINDA
