Writing is A Risky Venture.

WRITING IS A RISKY VENTURE:

Beloved brethren, writing is not just pen and paper, fingers and keyboard affair. 

For those of us who commit our inner thoughts to pages and posts, we know the truth: .....Writing is a Risky Venture.

Every time we share a piece of ourselves: an idea, a story, a message, we launch a ship onto a vast and unpredictable sea.

Communication is always a risky game.

Though we write with good intentions. Our intentions may not be viewed favourable by every reader. 

I personally write to:

•Share light

•Spread love

•Demonstrate respect

•Offer encouragement

But writing has unavoidable risks: different readers understand our writing differently.

Before I ever publish a post, a thousand questions run through my mind:

 * Is it necessary?

 * Is it helpful?

 * Is it encouraging?

 * Is it decent?

And from experience, it is almost impossible to score 100% on all these questions.

So why do I keep writing?

 

Because the urge to connect, to serve, and to share is stronger than the fear of misinterpretation.

The risk of misinterpretation is always there in every post.

I write not for the guarantee of safety, but for the potential of impact.

I write in faith, trusting that if my heart is right, the message will find the readers who need it most.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 says:

"Cast thy bread upon the waters:

for thou shalt find it after many days."

I cast my words (my 'bread') onto the unpredictable waters of the public, not knowing where they will land or what good they will do: but trusting that in time, the purpose for which they were sent will be fulfilled.

I plough in hope, and sow in faith - (1Cor.9:10)
