Sharing the Creator's Joy!

Writing is an art. The writer does not write to impress but to express. As such, the process of writing does not begin with the hand; it starts in the soul of the writer. There seems to be an assimilation of ideas, reactions and responses to the inner and outer world of the artist.  After much chewing, swallowing and digesting of thoughts, out comes the words strung together to express the inexpressible of heart and mind.


In this activity, my Lord, I feel with You as You created the heavens and the earth. It must have been exhilarating, to say the least! There You were, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, putting into action what You discussed before the world began. No wonder that You, as our wisdom, rejoiced in the presence of Your Father and of mankind, enjoying the world that You made!


Father, how is it that I am not enjoying myself in the way Your Son did??? But...wait a minute...I think I am beginning to feel that joy with You.....hold my hand, I pray.


Meditation:


Proverbs 8:27 31


"Then I was the craftsman at His side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in His presence, rejoicing in His whole world and delighting in mankind."


 Psalm   45:1


 "My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skilled writer."
