Write to the Wound<\/p><\/div>\n

First comes the purpose: then the person.<\/p>\n

Your shape comes from the pressure placed upon you as God delivers you into your role as writer.\u00a0 We feel God\u2019s joy when we do what God created us to do.\u00a0 This is also your purpose, so write from your place of pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you.\u201d<\/p>\n

You were wounded for a purpose\u2014His purpose\u2014so write to the wound.<\/p>\n

Your pain provides the power in your words, so look beneath the scars and remember the hurt. It is there you will find inspiration, a wellspring of empathy, and your voice.<\/p>\n

You were made by God and for God to speak about God. This is your gift and His glory.<\/p>\n

He placed this dream in your heart, not you. If you write for yourself you will become weary. Writing is hard work and too often the pay is paltry.<\/p>\n

But if you write to touch the wounds of others your words will have eternal value.<\/p>\n

So Ask Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n
