Parting Words From The WORD…

This week we looked at kudos and celebrated the successes of our Christian Writer’s Den friends. We announced our upcoming Christian Communicators Conference to offer help for women called to a speaking ministry.

And what a joy that is! Encouragement and teaching is at the heart of this blog.

But I never want readers to think that success–at least not the way the world sees success–is the goal here. After all, the scripture says:

“All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever.” 1 Peter 1:24

No, the goal of the Christian Writer’s Den is to encourage each of us in the journey He has called us to take, and then to trust God with the results.

If He has planted this desire to write or speak in you, you can be assured He will use it. It may not be for the masses. Perhaps His plan is for you to simply reach your family or a neighbor.

But whatever He’s called us to do, as long as we rightly stand on His Word, we can know it will be successful…even if we don’t see the evidence of it.

I pray God’s blessing on the work of your hands and your hearts,

Vonda
