The Infallible Word of God By Shalene Kearney

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Yesterday was a wonderful day! I ended my day in tears of happiness, because I had received so many compliments and words of encouragement regarding my self as a person and my writing. It was almost enough to make a person's head swell. "Almost" being the operative word. I have always loved to write, and have always thought it would be great to get my writing published somewhere. (I guess I've realized that dream, right here.) :) However, I must give credit where credit is due.

I am who I am, because of the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. A few short years ago, this person you're getting to know, didn't exist. Oh, I was nice enough (most of the time) but I was not compassionate, and willing to share my shortcomings with everyone. And I certainly wouldn't have been quoting Scripture for you, and praising the Lord.

Not only am I who I am because of the Holy Spirit, but my writing is what it is because of the Holy Spirit moving in me as well. Each day, before I begin writing, I ask the Lord to move through me, to give me the words to "put to paper." Much the same way that I'm sure that the men who wrote the Scriptures that make up our Bible did. I am in no way comparing myself to these God fearing men, to whom I am in complete awe. But this is what happens when I write.

I am so thankful to the Lord that He allows me this outlet for sharing my faith and my life with all who read my words. I also give Him all praise and glory for every bit of it, because without Him, I would have nothing to write about.

---Lord, today I ask that in everything I do, whether it be writing, or just living out my day, that I give you all glory, and all praise, and all the credit, because that is where the glory, praise and credit is due. I am so humbled by Your choice in me; because really who am I, that you would work through me? In Your infinite wisdom, I know that You know Your reasons, and whatever they are, I thank you from the depths of my soul. I pray that those who read my words today, will be moved to thank you, for all the ways you move in their lives each day as well. I pray this in Jesus Holy Name.
Amen
