No Question About It

1 Thess 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

Jesus taught using parables; that may be why I prefer using personal stories and topics I am familiar with when writing about God's truths that speak to me. But there were times when I wondered if anyone else was interested, even though writing what I believe God gave me to write. To my surprise, people often responded positively to those articles I thought were less appealing. Mentioning this to my "Bestie" on one such occasion, she told me, "Stop second-guessing yourself." She was right, so I stopped thinking that way (thank you, Carla Daves Troxclair). You and I should only be concerned with obedience to what God says to do, speak, or write, not the outcome of or if anyone receives His truths. God's Word is never shallow or meaningless; who or why someone proclaims it does not matter (Phil 1:14–18). God directs the Word's truth towards those who should hear; they must choose whether or how to respond: "So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth; it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (Isa 55:11).
