Let There Be WritingSample

In the Beginning God Created In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NLT How would you have written the opening line in the story of humanity? In the beginning God loved. In the beginning God worked. In the beginning God breathed. The first glimpse we get into the character of God is that he created , and he uses words to do his work. He makes pink flamingos and orange starfish, the dark depths of the ocean and the jagged edges of mountains, the sweetness of strawberries and sour of limes. He invents laughter and sex, sleep and how your skin feels when someone tickles you. He weaves together a world of intricate design, of mystery and glory, filled with the ordinary and miraculous. When you do creative work with words, you reflect God’s character and image. Your writing is more than sentences on a page, it’s sacred space. It’s not about hitting bestseller lists, it’s about helping people become who God designed them to be. It’s not just a job or hobby, it is holy work that is still bringing beautiful things into being. What is God inviting you to create? When you say “yes” to that nudge in your soul, you participate in life-giving work that has been unfolding since the start of time. You become part of a story that has never stopped being written. You align with the Author of all that is good, right, and true. In the beginning God created. He is still creating today, and he is inviting you to join him. God, thank you for inviting me to join you in your creative work. Give me the courage to do so through my words today. Amen. What is God inviting you to create with him? Take the next small step forward with it today, even if it’s just putting one sentence on a page.
