Dear Christian Writer,
When you're set to write, give it your absolute best.
Every word you write is a message that can change lives. So take it seriously.
Write your first draft, then read it over. Don’t just glance through, read with care, as if you’re your own audience.
Look for clarity, strength, and the heart of the message. Then, go back and correct any rough edges you see.
But don’t stop there.
After you’ve made your corrections, let the work rest a bit, and then read it again. This time, look for anything you might have missed.
Did a new idea come to you?
Was there a key point you forgot to mention?
Add it.
Is there a detail that now seems unnecessary
Remove it.
Make your writing as clear and impactful as possible.
Now, step outside. Imagine you're the reader.
Does the message stir your spirit?
Does it keep your interest?
Is the point of the writing clear, or does it feel like something is missing?
Be honest with yourself. Correct, rework, and rewrite as needed.
Writing is like sculpting. You start with a rough block, and each time you go over it, you're chiseling away the unnecessary, smoothing out the rough spots, and sharpening the details until the true beauty shines through.
Writing for God’s glory isn’t just about getting words to write; it’s about delivering a message that reflects His heart.
You are His vessel, carrying His message to a world that needs to hear it. Your diligence in this work matters.
Be led by the Spirit as you write, and let His wisdom guide every step of the process.
Pray before you start writing. Pray while you edit. And most importantly, pray when you feel like giving up.
The enemy often attacks during the writing process because he knows the power your words carry. But if you push through, if you give it your all, and trust God to breathe on your work, it will have the power to transform lives.
So don’t rush the process. Writing is both an art and a spiritual discipline. Take your time, polish your words, and when you’re done, ask yourself:
Is this the best I can offer to God?
If the answer is no, go back and refine it.
Give Him your best, because what you're doing is more than just writing, you're partnering with the Holy Spirit to communicate God's heart to the world.
With each word, aim to inspire, uplift, and challenge your readers. Write with purpose, with passion, and with precision, and God will use your words to make impact.
