I remember when I was in elementary school, one of my favorite assignments was when we got a bank piece of paper with handwriting lines at the bottom. Getting this kind of paper meant that I could draw whatever I wanted to. The possibilities were endless. And being the artist that I was, and still am, this was very exciting to me.
I recently started a new journal, and this journal has blank pages. I was very excited when I got it, because the possibilities were endless- very much like the papers I got in school. Unfortunately, my handwriting and blank paper do not agree with each other. I just can’t seem to writing in a straight line. So I am going to have to change the purpose of this journal. I won’t be using it for taking notes as much as I will use it to creatively write down what God is saying to me, and possibly illustrate some of it.
Like my journal and the blank handwriting paper, I need to be a blank page for God. I cannot come to Him with lines or graph (which is my favorite) drawn on, telling God how to use me. When I’m a blank page, the possibilities of what God can do are endless.
I think I need to go through and erase some lines I’ve drawn. I am a blank page for God to use however He wants.
