A Note from Jesus

Inspired by Amy Sullivan’s post “On Longing for the Handwritten” and the blog she pointed to, “The Handwritten,” I am submitting a blog post that features some of my cursive (which is unusually legible because I slowed down and took my time).I simply copied out a verse I loved from my youth that I have been returning to lately.When I first encountered it around age 12 or 13, the words felt like a note left for me from Jesus Himself.

      What a fabulous verse to grab hold of as a young one on the edge of adolescence. Love this!

        Thank you for dropping by, Shelia, and noting the significance of that verse and its timing in my life.

        My son is practicing cursive handwriting and this is the style–sort of up-and-down instead of slanted, very understated, lacking flourishes. I’ve been trying to imitate it a little. My normal script is almost illegible.

      That was a totally appropriate way to illustrate that verse. It makes it jump out and come alive

        Thank you, David. It’s how I read it…and need it.

          although, the key is “I have overcome the world.” That should be underlined and all caps, because therein lies my/our hope.

      I find it fascinating that when you can’t write explicitly, you find all sorts of interesting ways to write. Sort of like, if you can’t cuss, you have to get creative. Very creative, my friend.

      I love seeing your handwriting. God’s word, made very personal. Have you seen the version of the Bible written out by hand? Each verse is written by a different person. I saw it in a bookstore the other day.

      That verse was true when you were a child, and it is true today!
      We don’t hope for trouble, but we might as well expect it. We have the assurance that He has overcome, and will be with us in times when OUR world caves in on us. He will pull us out of the rubble.

        He is with us in this world, having already overcome sin in that ultimate sense and also, helping us overcome daily. Thank you, Hazel.

      Ann,

      I love to see people’s handwriting. Your writing reflects your personality (or what I would think it would be!) from reading your book and getting to know you a bit through your blog. I like that, and I would be curious to see the way some of my other online friends write.

      The thing about handwritten blog posts is that they are kind of addicting. Actually, I have about four ideas bouncing around my head. All of which I am dying to write out.

        I’m going to be thinking about this, now, thanks to you: what can I hand-write next?

      I miss handwritten. Typewriters were cool, and computers are even more cool. But handwritten is always beautiful…
