In a time when so many focus on the "sellability" of the final product and the numbers generated from our effort/book, the bottom line is pleasing our Lord. When He directs a book, a collection, a speech, a smile and words of blessing to a friend - our mission is to please, honor, and glorify Him.

Unless God speaks to us, and gives us the words to write, we have nothing to say. I always feel that I am the first to benefit from my own writing as God grows me and teaches me. Anything else is just bonus.

Knowing "From the very first word, he uses our writing to grow us, teach us, refine us, and train us. Through the process of writing, we learn patience and perseverance. We grow in wisdom, skill, and maturity," were great reminders. I have often thought, too, that the words ministered in some way to the editor and if scripture was on the page or proposal, God's promises His word won't return to Him void.Marilyn Nutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198038560504733125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-81231278821438710042018-10-26T05:52:47.263-04:002018-10-26T05:52:47.263-04:00It’s very informative and you are obviously very k...It’s very informative and you are obviously very knowledgeable in this area.
