Into the Fire

If you know an aspiring writer, encourage them. If you are an aspiring writer, find someone to encourage you. Be courageous, show them your material, and do accept their critiques but make your own judgment. Only you know what's in your heart. Is it a whim, is it a way of self-expression, or is it something that's a passion? 

Christians, you know who matters in your decision to write. Is it the call God has on your life? Is it something you'll dedicate to Him, no matter the genre? Only you know if you're serious about it, and only you know if the Lord is pointing you in that direction. 

I encourage you to explore your options. Do the research, the hard work. Then enjoy the journey and give it all you've got. 

Encouragement: find those people who know how to give it, the ones you trust to tell you the truth and won't let you down. Most importantly: listen to the Holy Spirit. 

Father, apart from you, we can do nothing. Those of us who know you, know that. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
