Godwriting™ is such a lovely thing that happened to me. I can’t imagine my life without it. I had enough empty years in my life, and now every day is rich with Godwriting. It is all so amazing to me.

As everyone who has taken a Godwriting™ workshop knows, you can’t Godwrite and be thinking of writing “good” Godwriting. If we start thinking our Godwriting has to be good, great, or remarkable, then we hamper the process. In fact, with such expectation, what we write would then be some kind of edited Godwriting and not really Godwriting. We would have been writing for an audience, perhaps just an audience of ourselves, but trying to look at the words in the eyes of the world. This really cramps God’s style.

It takes trust to Godwrite. It is really letting go of our own supervision. What a good practice of letting go Godwriting is.

I think Godwriting is a great name for the process, a natural name. Yet the Godwriting experience could also well be called “Hearing from God.” It is God-centered writing. It is not just writing. It is God whispering in our ears, and we write down what we hear, or almost hear. Godwriting isn’t an experience as if apart from God. Godwriting is a tiny bit separated from ourselves.

What I really want to talk about today is Godwriting after the fact.

It happens at pretty much every workshop that one or more people think their Godwriting isn’t anything much. Then when they read it aloud to the group, the power of it, the light of it, comes through. Perhaps the new Godwriter can hardly keep reading out loud because the words and the level the words came from hit him so powerfully. Sometimes the person weeps because the Godwriting did come from such a deep place, and now he is just finding that out.

I Godwrite™ every day, and each day the experience is new. I read each Heavenletter over several times before you receive it. Sometimes it’s a cursory reading, looking for typos, the sort of reading an English teacher would give.

But when each Heavenletter appears before me in my inbox, and I really read it, it is as if I am seeing it for the first time. Then I am like the new Godwriter™ in a workshop who is amazed that God’s love and wisdom somehow came through his pen.

As I read over the day’s published Heavenletter, it is as if I read it for the first time and I discover what it says — it is at this moment of discovery that I feel like getting down on my knees and thanking God. At this time, I silently ask God, “How, how does this come, and how does it come to me? How? How can this be? What miracle is this?”

Every day I am dazed at my good fortune. And I am demolished by the beauty of the words and the meaning of what God is saying, and I know I’m the luckiest person alive.

I feel like Morse who discovered the teletype. The teletype was having its first run, and Morse was very very happy. The first message he sent out through the teletype was: “What hath God wrought?”

That’s how I feel. “What have You done, God?”

Then later the teletype was taken for granted. Godwriting will never be taken for granted.

I’m guessing that the teletype may have been superseded by the computer, but there is nothing, nothing that can ever supersede Godwriting.
