Colossians 2:2-3
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Every year the calendar flips and I celebrate another
birthday. My first thought this year was, “Thank you God for more time with my
family and friends.” I always wonder
what He might have in store for me from one birthday to the next.
Recently, I’ve been praying about my writing journey and
asking God what the next step is for me. The blog I created for my writing life
needed updated and a bit more direction. As I read my Bible and pondered what
to do, I came across Colossians 2:2-3. “Encouraged
in heart”, “united in love”, and “treasures of wisdom and knowledge” jumped out
at me. God spoke to me through his word. Like Charlie Brown, I proclaimed, “That’s
it!” This verse added focus to my writing. As long as I am encouraging others
and showing love that leads to wisdom and knowledge of Jesus, then I’m working
toward the ultimate goal of sharing God. I love when Bible verses hit me
between the eyes and wake me up. Praise God for his guidance and wisdom.
Blessings on your new year of the writing journey! You will reap a harvest from the encouragement you sow!
