I have finally started feeling better today, and the warm air and bright sunshine aren't too bad for the heart either!
I've been reading someone's blog and am amazed by their love and faith of God in a trial that they are enduring in their lives. This is why I think writing is so important. Over time people from different cultures have catalogued their lives for various reasons. Sometimes it was done with the intention of letting the world read and other times it was a personal story, thought, diary which they never realized would become a public treasure. I immediately think of Anne Frank and her diary that gave us such an amazing and brutally honest look into the atrociticies of the Holocaust.
I think writing as Christians is especially important because we encourage, sharpen, and challenge,( sometimes innocently ) our fellow brethren concerning their own lives in the Lord. We are all different people but we are one in Him. The above mentioned blog's author is my sister even though I have never met her, and probably never will on this earth. This world is not as big as it seems. God's people are united all over , from a little African hut, to frozen Siberia, to an underground Chinese church, to the White House, our faith in Jesus Christ knits us together for eternity! How encouraged I am by my brothers and sisters in Christ!
