Writing can be a negative world, if we allow it. It’s the world of RE. Re-writing. Re-jection. Re-negged contracts. Yep, in today’s unsettled world of publishing, it’s not unheard of for signed contracts to be canceled.
But Ephesians 2:10 has another RE word we can count on as Christian writers:
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 NLT
- We are God’s masterpiece. When God looks at you, He sees a masterpiece. He sees the same thing when He looks at me. He specializes in seeing the potential in us.
- He has created us anew in Christ Jesus…in other words, He is RE-creating us in Christ. Why would He do that?
- …so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. He has plans for you and me. We don’t always know what they are, but we do know He has gifted each of us to complete the good things He has for us. It will take time, commitment, and work, but this verse promises we’ll be able to do them…at least the ones He planned for us all those years ago.
I pray God’s blessing on the work of your hands and your hearts,
Vonda
