Proverbs 12:25
King James Version
25 Heaviness in the heart of man
maketh it stoop:
but a good word maketh it glad.
Do you like writing?
Have you always loved writing?
Does it love you back?
But does it really matter?
All I know is I've ALWAYS loved writing.
Not really caring what people thought of my writing.
I had something to write, so I wrote.
Whether anyone read it, or it was just for self, I simply wrote.
Mostly to write what I felt at that moment.
Or stuff I've observed.
As dreams started showing up more in 1997, at one of the lowest points of my life, I started looking into it.
A Jung-based dream book helped for a while, to determine the meanings of symbolic words.
I started writing as early as I could think independently -- and that was when I was pretty young.
I guess I'd been in this field since almost forever.
There were "many books" in my heart.
And so it was.
You could say I already had the spirit of writing since I was a child.
Having had a quiet childhood, I was left to much introspection.
Looking into self was always good.
What did one think?
What did one feel?
What have you observed about people?
What was going on in the world?
Were people fair?
Were they kind?
What could be done better?
How could I be a better person?
ESPECIALY that last part:
"How could I be a better person?"
Such things populated my mind endlessly.
As you can imagine there was so much to write about.
What I did not realize, then, was that I was looking into how man could love better.
On how we could care more for others.
And making sure not to overlook anything.
Such thoughts encompassed every aspect of my life, and work, early on.
Even then, I had not thought of writing, to be read.
I was mostly doing it so I can understand self, and others.
Always trying to find "ways" and "solutions".
Merely "documenting" my own "findings".
Many decades after, my writing changed.
Where spirit of self was, a NEW SPIRIT took over.
The day GOD made me born again in 2019, His SPIRIT mercifully took charge.
Of course, my writing changed immeasurably.
Now, it's all SPIRIT.
What is right in GOD's eyes?
What is His will?
What does He want said?
What warnings does the LORD have?
When SPIRIT enlightens you, glorious stuff happens.
You write like never before.
You get to see clearly.
Through the "fog" of one's own muddled thinking.
SPIRIT leads you to JESUS, and His commands.
You begin to know the LAWS of GOD.
Your prayer is that you're ALWAYS aligned with GOD's will.
You do not think, speak, and act out of self anymore.
You have JESUS as your pattern for everything.
What a GLORIOUS way to live, think, speak, act, and write!
You have now distanced yourself from how the world thinks.
Now, all the more you don't care what others think of your writing.
It simply must serve the TRIUNE GOD:
Colossians 3:23
King James Version
23 And whatsoever ye do,
do it heartily,
as to the Lord,
and not unto men;
That's all you need to know about writing.
Not as the world would accept.
But as JESUS taught.
As apostle Paul challenged:
Galatians 1:10
King James Version
10 For do I now persuade men, or God?
or do I seek to please men?
for if I yet pleased men, I should not be
the servant of Christ.
And it's never been about "techniques".
It's always been about GLORIFYING GOD.
And only by being born again can one do so.
For the HOLY SPIRIT teaches us TRUTH.
The world is filled with lies, and misdirection.
It's now time to write about GOD's TRUTH.
The only absolute there is.
An essential focal point for all.
