I don’t want to have digital images or icons express my emotions and ideas. I prefer my own words instead. I’ve never liked to depend on someone or something to speak for me. I want to speak for myself from my heart. I don’t like to use store bought greeting cards or online emojis or programmed religious words. Instead, I treasure heart felt sincerity.
Speaking openly from the heart takes courage but for me it has always been worth coming out of the shadows and being humble, honest, and real with people. Here are some current original thoughts:
Opinions often oppose truth.
Truth aligns with
Reality.
It’s not for me
To invent it.
We can’t stop our sin
If we deny it
Or we excuse it.
We must confess it,
Renounce, reject it,
Fight and resist it.
It’s easier to
Surrender to it
And simply to say,
“I was born that way.”
Refuse to consent
To the wrongs you do.
Drive them out. Repent!
(2 Corinthians 10:4)
Look beyond
The outward view.
Follow Jesus
Leading in you.

I often choose my words more carefully online, because we don’t have body language to show that we’re being funny or sad or serious.
Yes. Being careful with our words can help solve many of our problems.
