Worth Writing

It's a blank page. What could possibly be important enough to mar it? What do you say to a blank page? Hello...
How do you begin to write something of such importance that it is worthy of putting black marks on a white sheet? What is the phrase that is worthy of being written, no matter the purity of the page?  
In the beginning...
Of everything that could be said, is it worth breaking the silence? What is more beautiful than peace? What can you say to improve the moment?  
Hope...
What is it that must be written? Why do I have the desire to write if the potential for failure and mistake is so prominent?  
Don't give up...
What justifies my use of words? How can I make an impact? Is someone waiting for me to speak?  
Good news...
Why do we read books? Why do we have conversation? What are we looking for in the words?  
There is someone who can save you...
Why do we place trust in one another? Why do we hurt when they betray us? What is worth breaking our hearts?  
Help is here...
Where can we find the answer written on a page, spoken in words? What are we trying to say? Has it been said before?  
A child is born...
Who got it right? Who inspired us to speak and write the only words that mean anything at all?  
The one who sets men free...
How can we know that we can trust him? Why are we sure it is him and not someone else?  
"You have the words of eternal life..."
It's a blank page. It has no flaws, but it's missing something. It's missing the message that each of us is yearning to know. But there is somewhere that the message is already written, where truth is spoken for us to hear.  
"...And they will call him Immanuel which means, 'God is with us.'"
We write and we speak for one purpose. To bring others to God. To tell them the good news of a Savior who loves them enough to die for them! To give them true peace and real hope! The one who made the world wants to have a personal relationship with each one of his beautiful creation. So write on every page! Speak to everyone you can! Share the good news and never stop.  
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
