How Well Do You Hear?

I explained in my last post that I am learning new ways to listen. I am a bit discouraged to report my hearing has not been restored, but I have hope. Like I said in that article, I am being more diligent to listen and not just hear.

Well, the writing process mimics life to the extent that we must be attentive to the story that's longing to be told. Be it fiction or non, our job as writers is to communicate. If we are not tuned into that message, the pieces we write will be ineffectual.

I don't like to waste words, so I make sure I do not interfere with what needs to be heard. Here's how I get ME out of the way:

"Remove the ME"

by Jodi Whisenhunt

I

just fail.

I

am in the way.

Lord, take

Me

away, remove

Me.

Speak through

Me.

Live through

Me.

Flow from

Me.

So

I

cease to exist.

Don't make

Me

Your instrument.

I

am Yours already, just

remove the ME.

May the Lord fill you with Himself so you may be receptive to His word and effective in His ministry.
