I wrote something on my twitter this morning that I am realizing more and more through this writing process.
I never realized how much writing for others would give me personal insight into God’s love for ME! He is such a good and loving Father.
Y’all, this writing process is intimate.
In writing this blog, I think about you guys all the time. I have such an awesome community online that supports me and encourages me to keep writing! You guys and Jesus are the reason that I had the courage to step out and actually write my first book.
And so I’m thinking of you as I write each page. I’m already praying for everyone who is going to purchase it. I’m praying that the words of this book will be encouraging and healing words. And there is something so special to me about this first book being a devotion book, because it is something that my readers will read every day. Maybe every morning. Maybe these words that I’m writing will be the first thing you read along with your Bible before you seize the day. Maybe these words will be the last thing you read before you go to sleep at night. Maybe as you read this book you are knee deep in a season of heartache. Maybe you are in a brand new season of life that seems unsure.
You are so dear to me. You really are. I feel like I’m writing you a secret note every day. It’s so hard for me not to post every single finished page as a blog post because I want you to see all of this goodness that Jesus is pouring out from my fingertips through this keyboard. But then, I see the beauty of waiting and I feel like every page is a surprise. A surprise that I am going to be so excited to give you at the end of this writing process.
I am so honored to partner with Jesus and write this book with all of the love-words. I feel like He is showing me His heart for you every single day and I am being trusted with his feelings for His beloved.
As I write, I am learning more and more about His deep love for me and you. About the longing that he has to speak into our lives. About the way he wants to put his hand beneath our chin and lift our face toward His so that our eyes meet. So that we can see the depth of His love for us.
He loves you so much. Do you know it? Do you know that you are loved wildly? Because you are.
You are loved. You are loved. You are loved.
