Bring Them
He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? - He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? Mark 4:21
"Nana, you and Papaw are sons of Abraham."
That one floored me. Outta the mouths of babes, right? So, when I told our grandson he was a son of Abraham too, he informed me that a huge responsibility for a six-year-old.
Declan always makes me chuckle, but his insight is amazing. He reminded me that in order to be a son of Abraham, he'd need to be sure he let his light shine. And he was right.
As you travel this writing path, there will be times when you feel so overwhelmed, so lied to by the enemy, that you question your reasoning for even attempting such a venture. Still you cannot believe the lies of the evil one. Not for a minute, for God has called you into this season. He's gifted you with exactly what you need to learn the craft and then set out to write the story He wants you to tell.
Don't let the lies of an evil world force you to hide your gift. Put it on a stand. Work hard to do what God has assigned to you. Don't worry about man's desires. Instead, trust in his timing. This is not a hard realization if my 6-year-old grandson has figured it out. He already knows that to be a true son of Abraham - or man of God, he has to let his light shine.
Are you going to let a 6-year-old outshine you? I hope not. Knuckle down. Walk in faith. Trust in God's timing and He will bring you success. Do it for His glory, not your own. SHINE.
Much love,
Cindy Sproles
