Start with the Heart

Where should I start? At the beginning, of course. But where, exactly, is the beginning? When writing a story, starting can seem intimidating, impossible. Yet an intriguing idea nudging the author’s heart will often somehow initiate a story’s start.
 
God, too, is writing a story. When we hand Him the pen, we can trust that He will write our life’s story way better than we ever could.
 
Of course, this handing-over-the-pen process is no easy task for humans, because somehow the flesh supposes it knows what is best. Ridiculous, yes. Yet if we have already handed over our heart to the Lord, why not trust Him to write our story’s beginning, middle, and end—without trying to take back the pen?
