The other day while praying God spoke to my heart. Don't you love it when that happens?
I was feeling overwhelmed with how far it seems our culture has come from God. (That is another post:) I also felt frustrated at my life and wondering how I can effect what seems void of God. God spoke to me that He is my editor. Now I have limited dealings with magazine and book editors, but I understood. Not only is He able to forgive and erase my mistakes, but He helps me write the story of my life. He corrects, He guides, He edits my life as He desires it to be read. He cares more than I do how my life is lived and read by others! He even knows the plot from beginning to end. And best of all, I am not in it alone! He is always there to help me. Suddenly after understanding all of that, I felt better, encouraged, and equipped for the task of life as I know it- sometimes difficult, most of the time challenging... always purposeful and satisfying in Him! (Normally I do WFW, but I am finding I can't always do so on Wednesdays, so I may start posting on Tuesdays some instead:)
This is a fabulous post. He has been dealing with me on this very point. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, SusanD

He is trying to communicate with me but I am not getting the message for some reason. I think I need to slow down and listen. Maybe I am getting the message after all. :)
ReplyDeleteLaurie,
ReplyDeleteThe best part of God doing our editing is that He doesn't use red pen and He has a really big eraser!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat

ReplyDeleteHi Laurie,

I love this Laurie. He is my editor. I think I needed this encouragement too.
ReplyDeleteMuch love!
Laurie, I am so glad you felt God's direct and immediate comfort upon your life. Yes He is the author and editor--He does know the beginning and the end.
ReplyDeleteWith that assurance, all that is left is to seek His will for all the "pages in between." Bless you my sister!
What a wonderful reminder that He cares about every detail of our lives. He moves through and crosses every T and dots every I. There is nothing He does not notice and care about.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Word from the Lord, dear Laurie.
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful and what you said I needed to hear. I am a writer too and struggle with getting those rejections. I love the way and what you wrote here. thank you. Sarah
