A Crowned Thorn

What is the value of a thorn in our Christian journey? First, we must identify what a thorn is. According to the Dictionary one definition describes a thorn as “a source of continual annoyance or trouble”. A thorn can cause an immediate pain from its puncture or it can cause constant irritation and distress. Thorns that appear as a source of trouble are usually not welcomed companions on our daily quest. But the thorns we encounter are useful despite their irritations and disruptions. Thorns come to challenge and to strengthen your faith, your character, and your witness as a child of God. Thorns are the mechanism from which you gain more than you lose. Thorns are the pathway to reaching higher heights and deeper depths of sanctification and glory. With each thorn that attaches itself to your life, you become more and more like Christ.

What Does Your Soul Need To Say?


#heardanduplifted #soulspeak #devotional #christianjournal

We are wonderfully crafted beings, lacking nothing that we need to be spiritually and emotionally well in the life we live. God, in His infinite love and wisdom, has created us with the need to let our souls seek to express itself whether in art, song, dance, and even in our writing.

We are spirit beings living in a natural world, and as such, our spirit needs to be fed and to release. There is something supernaturally filling and renewing when you give your soul permission to express itself. For we live daily in the landscape of Gods artistry and creativity.  We gain strength and joy when we witness His handiwork here on the earth. Therefore, we are encouraged by His example to create and to express what's within us in order to obtain the pleasure and the support that comes when one has let their soul speak freely in partnership with God.

God is a relational God. He seeks to accompany us in all of our endeavors. He has given us outlets of communication to get the spiritual and emotional support we need. The power of the written word is an outlet that allows you to let your soul speak in pleasure and in pain and God meets us on the pages to share His heart and to help. 

Letting your soul speak and to speak often in communion with God is necessary and creates an intimacy with God that is special. Having the ability to put into words what the soul is experiencing and to share them with your ultimate companion and friend is a gift God created by design. He created us to be and to share our innermost thoughts and desires for He seeks not only to hear but to fulfill.

We are beings who need to express and to be revived by letting our souls speak. We can find a joy that is unspeakable and remarkable when we take the time to write the words of our heart to the love of our life and creator of our souls. We need to express what is within with the One who can interpret and understand and yet respond in comfort and in love. So let's take on this gift and take the time to share the words of our hearts to God, in doing so we will find more joy and more connection to the Lord of our soul.


Journal Entry: Dear Lord I will let my soul speak! Guide my hands to speak the words of my heart with purity and with all sincerity.

Take my words and transform them to aide me and to bring comfort as only you can do Lord.
