I also won't take it personally if readers aren't captivated by what sticks out to me.

I too love your term, "sticky statement", to describe what the Spirit is drawing our attention to and speaking into our lives. For me, these sticky statements often lead into writing a devotional. <br /><br />And thanks for your questions for us to ponder as we write.

The "sticky words" are "without finding fault:" God won't criticise us or think we're stupid if we ask Him for the wisdom we need. In fact, asking God for wisdom might be the smartest thing we can do.

So much of this post touched me and stuck to my heart.<br /><br /> Here are two examples:<br /> <br />"It isn’t always about observing a sprawling garden. Sometimes it’s about marveling at the intricacies of an individual flower."<br /><br />"Will you release your writing with open hands, knowing what captivates you may not be what stands out to your readers?"<br /><br />As someone who loves to engage in macrophotography, I've learned the joy of being captivated by the delicate details of flowers. And as a reader of as many inspirational nonfiction as I can get my hands on, I've also found that the "sticky statements" that find me are often not the highlighted ones. God knows what each of us needs to zoom in on.<br /><br />Blessings. <br />Wendy L. Macdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702077484754964660noreply@blogger.com
