Please, anyone and everyone who reads this, I need your help. I'm wanting to write a story, you see. But not just any story. I want it to be one that's meaningful and will speak to my generation. I want it to be a story that quietly speaks a loud message. A message that God's trying to get across to us but we're too ignorant to listen. I don't want it to be like a Bible study type thing like a testimony or me preaching at the teenagers for doing wrong, I want it to be a story with fictional characters and a made-up plot but that hits home and reaches the deep, most hidden parts of the heart. Something that the Holy Spirit can use to change us.
I've tried to come up with an idea by figuring out what my main subject of the book will be. I've listed things like love, forgiveness, blessings, redemption, answered prayers. But the problem with love is that I can't write about it without copying other stories that I've read about love. The problem with forgiveness is that you have to sin before you get forgiveness and I don't want it to be a depressing book where a ton of bad things happen and you have to wade through this sorrow until the end of the book when it finally reveals God's forgiveness and mercy. And then answered prayers and blessings are too light-hearted and wouldn't reach deep enough, I think.
So here's where you come in. I am in dire need of your suggestions. Anything! As long as it kinda follows what I'm looking for in the first paragraph. I know I'm probably being picky but I will never finish it if I am not in love with the plot. So please, if you think of anything I might like, please leave it as a comment! I would truly, honestly, genuinely appreciate it. Thank you!!!
p.s. There's not much else to write on, anyway. Later I will let yall in on this idea I'm praying about. ;) It's really exciting.
With love for my Lord.
Your truly,
SD
