Today I write because of a deep desire to do something great in the earth. Or leave a mark "as they say". (I still don’t know who "they" are but who cares right now) I write because of this desire I have had for a while now within and it is to do something that will last, "something indelible". (I provided you with a simple definition of indelible to better understand)
indelible [ɪnˈdɛlɪbəl]
adj
1. incapable of being erased or obliterated
2. making indelible marks indelible ink
indelible
adjective permanent, lasting, enduring, ingrained, indestructible, ineradicable, ineffaceable, inexpungible, inextirpable My visit to India left an indelible impression on me.
Throughout the years I know that this desire has resided deep in man to do something great/to be great and this too I share. Now, I don’t say this at all with an "Alexander The Great" overtone. I say it understanding that I need God to build and steady me as I posture myself to serve in such a manner that He sees as great. I also say it postured in a way that says I desire to do something uniquely significant in the earth through my gifting, abilities, and life that will be impactful. This can be great in my own eyes or even small yet I ultimately want it to please God's heart and be great to Him as I live out this desire.
I write and know many share this desire yet feel they need a certain level of influence or platform to do such a thing. And I respond with a "not so" mentality. As I have written this today, I can look at this blog and its limitations. I can also say it is poor because of its improper grammar, word usage, or weak arrangement of sarcasm/humor. (yikes) Or, I can thank God for this "small opportunity" ,which is at my finger tips, that I can use to inspire and maybe leave an indelible mark in someone who could read this and potentially impact millions. You or I will never know. And so I am thankful for this opportunity today to be able to do something which can last. Something indelible. Even if it is to simply write a blog.
