You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Words come together in my heart and head while I’m in bed during the night. When I get up in the morning, I grab my laptop and write them down wherever I am. I’m so focused and gripped by those lively words that I’m actually unaware of the space I’m writing in. So, I guess my perfect place to write is anyplace.

As I write the appearing words, they edit themselves from within me and grow in length and quality. More and more words come, and I tap them on the screen until they’re finally done. Then I have breakfast.

Often times during the day, no matter where I am, new inspiring words come my way by rising up from within me. I quickly post them on Facebook, so that I don’t forget them. Frequently they form just one sentence, but sometimes more. They almost always fit nicely in my next morning’s writing flow.

Here are the words that formed within me in bed last night:

Christianity isn’t
About just being wiser
Or getting a fresh new start.
It’s about experiencing
Christ’s living water geyser
Continually erupting
From deep within your heart.

And here are a few sentences that came to me after posting this post:

• Let the self-striving cease so you can experience God’s relief.
• Instead of trying to find just the right words in your mind, let God inspired words freely and openly flow from your heart.
• Follow the thoughts that come across your heart and lead you to the Cross of Christ. They are from God.
• Let the risen Jesus train you to let “Christ in you,” speak and write through you.
• No spiritual fire in the writer (or speaker), no spiritual fire in the reader (or hearer).
• Too many preachers sermonize about God without showing people the fire of Jesus by opening their heart to let the congregation see the risen Christ actively living and working in them.
