My passion is to write

A gift I didn’t know was inside of me

Until I desired to give someone something special

And wasn’t sure what in the world that would be

After a long time

I decided I should pray and ask God what I could give

His response to me came as quite a surprise

But it was perfect, and I know it is with me for as long as I live

What He told me to do was to write something

In my human hesitance I said, “Who me?”

When I said that I got no response at all from Him

My disbelief must have angered Him ‘cause without faith He won’t be pleased

I got a pad and began to pen a poem

And a brief moment after I began to write

The words began to flow like rivers of living water

I felt as if I had come from a dark place into a light

It was being revealed right before my eyes

What was to be part of my destiny

This wonderful gift of writing I have

Which before that time I could not see

I always thought it would be to sing or act

Those are things I have always enjoyed

I still do both pretty regularly

But, writing is a passion I can’t avoid

Writing to me is like the air I breathe

Something I must have to survive

If I were not allowed to write anything

My spirit would cease to be alive

It doesn’t matter what it is that I write

Could be a letter, a poem, an inspiration, a play or a song

Give me a pen and paper, a computer to type or a rock and a chisel

And I could continuously write something all day long

Writing is my passion

I use this gift with every opportunity

Sharing it so that others can be blessed

Has encouraged some, challenged others and even set people free

Though my passion is forever to write

I am careful to praise God for this gift

Because whatever happens in my life

I don’t want His anointing to lift

Every human God created has a gift inside

It could be to teach, speak publicly, cook or be a designer of fashion

I encourage everyone to know what the gift of God is in their life

Once you know what that thing is it will become your passion

If you need an example to help you understand

There is a very good example in Jesus the Christ

He was 100% man and 100% Diety

He too, before He was born, had a gift inside

No one else had this gift before or after his time

You see, the gift he had inside was life

He looked inside a cup one day and saying, “Nevertheless…”

The passion that drove him to his destiny was to die

As for me, I will write until I cannot write any longer

There is no such thing as having nothing to say

Because this gift has been inside me since before I was born
