The Sensitivity of Writers

Posted by Franisz Ginting


God communicates with you. You have to write down what He wants you to write (Amos 3:7).

A writer is a lion. Sometimes his or her writings are scary (Amos 3:8). I just don’t get it how people can be so afraid of a writing. Although a writer is a lion, the writings of a writer can be charming to the readers─just as we fascinated to the charm or elegance of a mighty and standing lion.

When you are going to write, you should better pray first (Amos 3:3), especially when your writings are long. Just as you want to go to somewhere faraway, you always pray first, don’t you? If you try to write without praying, it seems you try to write without God’s permission. Imagine. It’s like you want to walk with a stranger in the street. It’s rarely happen.

Writers have sensitivity. I hope so. They observe the surroundings (Amos 3:4-6). But, perhaps when you live in a safety zone or deep-pressured zone, you become insensitive. They have a stock of words─beautiful ones. Some words that unfamiliar for others are sometimes mesmerizing them.

You start to write when you got an idea or inspiration (Amos 3:4). It can come from God, the books you read, a blaze of thought, ‘& c’ (et cetera). You write not to be arrogant, cocky, or hinder others to write better or more than you. A lion never gets arrogant when he or she is roaring. He or she’s just showing himself and herself. You write just to write. That’s the simple secret. Forget the rules.

As closing, you just have to write down what God wants you to write. Use your energy.
