Inkwell Of Life
by Paul Dawn
Published December 7, 2005
For several days, something that the Lord spoke to my heart, has kept going through my mind and my spirit.
What I heard was“You are the ink in my pen and I use your life to reflect who I am!”
“I take all that you have gone through to bring hope to others. What I have written in you, I am expressing to others, to show that I am your source of strength, of hope!”
Indeed, we are learning by the things that we have gone through. That we might be a reflection of the inner working that the Lord is doing within us, in our lives.
That He has taken us, as I have shared before,from the realm of theory, to the realm of reality. That we are building on a sure foundation that will stand the storms of life.
That the word that is being written within will give hope to others as they see the Christ within manifested in what we write and what others see.
That the fragrance that comes forth, through the times of brokenness, will draw others to want to know what gives us that assurance within.
The ink that the Father uses is our lives!
Are you allowing the Lord to take what you have, to write, to express Himself, so that others might see in you, the work of His hands and sense His presence in your life, as you put your trust in Him?
Your are the inkwell that He dips His pen in, to express Himself, through you!
