Each day hands me a clean sheet of paper upon which to write. Therefore, I would be wise to write without ever having the need to erase.

I have both paper and pencil. And as I write out the script of my life, I’m not worried about how I hold the paper, but I am worried about how I hold the pen.

Decisions are the privilege we’ve been granted to have a hand in penning the script of our lives. And in the writing, the question is not the availability of the paper or the pen. The question is the wisdom to use them rightly.

Every single day in a thousand different ways, the script that I am writing across the pages of my life is dramatically impacting how others are writing theirs. And if I dare to recognize that I am writing far more scripts than this single one that I hold in my hand, would I not hold the page of this day and apply the pen of how I lived it in an unimaginably different way?

We must never forget that everything that we do pens yet another line on the pages of the lives who are watching us. And once those lines are penned, there’s no eraser with which to remove that which we wrote. Therefore, take time to pray before you pick up the pen.
