Called

When did you first feel the nudge to write?

Since then, have you ever asked yourself these questions…

Am I really called to write? Did I hear God wrong? There are so many other gifted writers out there already. Why should I even bother?

God does not limit His message to a select few. We each offer something unique because we are created uniquely in His image.

Four Things that confirm our calling to write:

1.) We have a story to share with others.

“Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭66‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬

2.) The words we write are a light that shines for Christ.

“In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

3.) The words we write can outlive us and impact those who come behind us.

“Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭102‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬

4.) There will simply never be enough books written that seek to magnify Jesus.

The market cannot be too flooded or saturated with books that lift up Jesus.

“Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.” - John‬ ‭21‬:‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬
