One thing that I find beautiful is the fact that God has made everyone an unique individual with his or her own unique talent. No one person's talent is greater than the next, but how a person exercise his or her own talent, while strengthening, perfecting, and making one's talent their own is simply up to that person. A person's talent us also even more special when he or she uses it to glorify the Lord.
Early in the hour of after twelve a.m., God asked me to worship him. Even though I was getting comfortable in my bed, I got up with obedience and heard a word from the Lord that let me know that he has something special for me. He told me to use my talent as a form of worship and respect for me, but also a way to reach out to the lost and dying world. That doesn't necessarily mean that everything I write will be about God, but I will mention God in every aspect, while giving him praise.
Writing books, stories, poetry, and blog sessions are important factors in reaching out to this generation that I live in. People would rather hear phoniness of the world, instead of the truth of the Word. What better way can I talk about Christ without jammin' down a person's throat will be to teach Christ, not preach Christ. For some reason, the world (and some Christians) dislike preaching. They feel as if the preacher doesn't have a right to tell someone what is wrong and what's right in human form. Despite the harshness, they're right. No one wants to listen to the Word being delivered through a person who is truly living the Word of God. {Quite frankly, that is harder than ever to do since humans are born in the sinful state.} They want the word to be teached; to be handled with care and deliver gently. But, not everything in the bible can be handled that way. Some topics and certain issues have to be taken seriously and with all caution.
I plan on doing just that, handling all of the material that I write with gentleness and care, but still forceful and seriously when the times asks for it. I plan on having fun with it. I love writing and just want people to enjoy it.
I am Gemini Sade Franklin, the poet and writer: writing for Christ, writing for Life.
