Some people write with their eyes in a haze,
Unaware of the hearts they’re passing in a daze.
They chatter and shuffle, not hearing a sigh—
They don’t pause to notice a tear in the eye.
They write, but they miss what is the best intent.
They live in a casket of self-made cement.
But if they would learn how to write with God’s care,
They’d start with the hearts that are wounded out there.
Imagination can help writers pretend,
But empathy walks with a hand to extend.
It listens. It learns. It’s willing to feel.
It reaches the soul in a way that is real.
To love like our Lord and to feel what he knew,
Takes more than good manners or knowing what’s true.
Love comes from a bond that is deep and divine—
From walking with Jesus, both in heart and in mind.
Jesus came down with a relationship to show—
That God can be with us. He wants us to know.
He touched, and he wept. He felt every cry,
And he lifted the lowly with love from on high.
He saw through the surface, to what lay beneath.
In offering his grace, he gave us his peace.
His questions weren’t to confuse or to test.
They opened our hearts and gave us rest.
So how do we grow in this gift that he gave?
We ask him to teach us. We ask him to save,
Showing how to abandon our me-centered sight.
He will help us to see what he wants us to write.
We enter a room and feel what’s in the air.
Noticing who’s lonely, we offer a prayer.
We see past the faces and make stories our goal.
Sensitive writing is what will make people whole.
It’s more than a talent, more work than it seems.
It’s living with love that goes deeper than dreams.
It’s asking, “Dear Father, please soften my view,
So I can love others in the same way that you do.”
The path isn’t easy. It takes persistence and grace,
But each little step puts us more in the right place.
As a channel of love, a vessel of God’s light,
We sense people’s needs and write what is right.
So writers, take heart—don’t rush or pretend.
Be patient and prayerful, making God your friend,
Who walks right beside you, and shapes what you say.
You’ll mend broken hearts as you reveal his ways.
