I was inspired today to reevaluate my purpose and goals for this blog, and for my writing in general. Why am I writing? About what am I writing? For whom am I writing?
Bottom line, I'm writing to honor and glorify God. I am writing so that you can know my Jesus--the Son of God who is Lord of all.
And within that, I'm writing to encourage, build up, and inspire you--those for whom I write.
I want to write about a lot of things: homemaking, marriage, cooking, life. But I want the good news of Jesus Christ to be the common thread that runs through all of that. God is all-pervading in my life; he's the reason I am alive and he gives me purpose for life. I want my blog to reflect that.
I'm writing for you, and I'm writing for Jesus.
Maybe that sounds kind of corny. But in this little space on the internet, I have a voice, and I can use that voice to serve him: to praise him for who he is and what he has done, and to talk about the good news of his life, death, and resurrection.
I want to share a lot of things with you. I'm thankful for each of my readers, and yes, I hope my readership will grow. But I want that mostly so that I can tell all of you who read these words of mine, that Jesus loves you.
I want you to know that: Jesus loves you. So much. So much that he, the Son of God, came to earth as a human, lived, and died, and rose again, for you. He did this so you can have a relationship with him, have faith in him as your Lord and Savior, and spend eternity in heaven with him.
As a sinful person, I won't always accomplish what I set out to do on this blog. I might focus more on myself than my God. When that happens, I ask that you graciously look past my faults to the perfect God who, by his grace, I do my best to serve.
He has done everything for me, and he has done everything for you. Please rest in the knowledge today that the Creator and King of the universe--loves--you.

You are a beautiful reflection of His love ... my precious Jaimie Elise.
ReplyDeleteHi Jaimie! Thanks so much for linking up.
ReplyDeleteI struggle so much in this because I, too, want to share who I am on my blog, but I ultimately want others to know who HE is through me. I definitely need to do a better job of this.
