Getting Isaiah Ready To Proclaim The Word If you value each other person as a unique instantiation of the likeness of the Giver, and you want to get to heaven and help these others to come with you, you will write words that do this – word signposts to the pearly gates, words that embody the two greatest commandments of love, words that echo the Sermon on the Mount, and words that proclaim those most-published written words of all time, abbreviated as “INRI” on the Cross. This is about writing words that someone else will read. This is not about “journalling” for yourself alone. And you believe in the Giver of your gift. You have the gift of writing and you believe you will die, there is life after death, a life that is forever, and what you do, and what you write here in this life, affects how you will be in eternity.
