A drop of ink may make a million think. – Lord Byron
The best devotional takes five minutes to read, yet can be remembered for a lifetime. One reason I like to write devotionals is the feedback I receive from people across the country and around the world.
You want people to be influenced by what you write. You want them to say, “That’s what I needed today,” or “I didn’t know anyone else felt that way.” It is amazing how you can touch people’s hearts in so few words with a devotional.
If God hasn’t touched your heart on a particular subject though, you aren’t going to reach your reader. Write from your experiences. Write what is around you— the everyday occurrences. Be aware of interesting details or parallels in life. Write from your heart.
