.: the nature of the urge :.

Whatever our perceived giftedness is, we truly cannot help but do that very thing. Whether it is writing, preaching, drawing, dancing - whatever! - we must do that very thing we have been gifted to do (notice that I did not say "born to do", for that one thing alone is relational in nature, as opposed to what I am speaking of)... the single thing that gives us the greatest sense of joy and speaks to our nature beyond anything we could falsely drum up or force ourselves to believe.



For, in my case, as a writer, I simply must write. I naturally allow myself to make the room necessary (today it meant foregoing studies for some time) to achieve my felt motivation - my God-given urge - and I passionately do it with the richest of emotions. I am drawn up into... I am carried away... I am driven and compelled... and I perform and create in a manner that feels so natural because it is at the core of my very nature - one that has been purposed and fashioned by God.



May all men and women discover those qualities of their nature... and may they have those people in their lives, those situations in their experience, that liberate them - that set them free - and literally give them permission to be what the Father has created them to be!



Amen... a thousand times over!
