YOU HAVE HEARD AND OBEYED
I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2 NIV
Our biggest call at the Asheville Christian Writers Conference is to be sure we pray. Believe it or not we have 400 people who pray for this ministry and this conference on a daily basis. Our main prayer is simple - "Lord send those you would have attend. Let them hear your call and obey."
You are getting this letter which means you have heard and are obeying. That in and of itself is a major ordeal. Do you realize how many do not respond?
I, better than any, know the fear of stepping into a call from God. It's a little scary especially when we are not able to control the direction or result. Still, God calls us to write for Him. He asks two things of us: Do the work to the very best of our ability and pray. When we do that - when we give our work to Him...loosen the grip and let God control things, then He uses us. And He uses us to HIS GLORY not our own. He understood that when we say yes, God listens and as long as we continue to call on Him in faith with a willing heart and a teachable spirit, He will do incrediable things through your writing.
God has placed within you the burning desire to write. It may be one story, it may be hundreds. But it's there. You have taken the first step. You heard the voice and responded. When you cry out to Him for guidance and direction, GOD WILL ANSWER. His ear is turned to you. Wasn't the psalmist amazing as he penned these words?
And so...we begin this new journey together. You and I. Are you ready? Because God is waiting on us.
