Journaling and Writing

Sometimes I journal. Sometimes I don't. For instance, I have a prayer journal that I write in during my devotional time. I (obviously) also blog from time to time. I write a monthly leadership resource. The thing that's been on my mind is the fact that it's okay NOT to write and journal and blog.

If one feels the pressure to write or journal, then it becomes a duty. Duty is not what relationship is about. God doesn't want obligation, He wants relation. We can never allow our tactics to become obligatory actions that we assume will lead us closer to Him.

Write, read, blog, and journal when you want. But sometimes it's okay to just rest in Him - not doing one thing except resting in Him. Don't be obligated. Be in love.
