Encouragement for Writers

2-minute devotion for Friday, 8/15/25

“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. Matthew 25:14-15 Read full chapter

Words of Encouragement from Hannah Ruth from her blog: In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus emphasizes the importance of using the resources given to us wisely. While the parable uses the example of money and investments, it also applies to skills and actual talents… like singing, or painting, or computing, or accounting, or… you know, writing.

If God has given you the ability to write, write!

It’s a blessing to have these abilities, and when we ignore them, we:

a) miss out on the joy and fulfillment in using the talents we’ve been given and

b) neglect the gifts that God has given us. I don’t think He likes it much when we shy back from using the talents He’s blessed us with!

I was greatly encouraged by Hannah Ruth’s post, Is It Worth It? 4 Reasons Why the World Needs You to Keep Writing. I think it will encourage you, too!

Has God given you the desire to write? I have learned a lot since I began writing. Good writing begins with a desire. Your skills will develop over time.

In His Love, Cindy
