Write His Answer

Spring Is Coming!

Snow is still covering the ground (with more on its way), and it was 10 degrees when I got up this morning. Brrrr. It’s a good day to stay indoors and to remember that spring really is coming. It’s only 7 weeks away – 49 days!

I want to encourage you to take a couple of minutes to listen to Steven Curtis Chapman sing “Spring Is Coming” and to reflect on what the Master Gardener wants to do your life.

The Master Gardener

He planted the seed in the ground.
Ever so slowly it changed—
actually it died—
that it might be reborn into something new.
It began to push through the soil.
First one, then another leaf appeared.
From a spindly little seedling
it kept growing—and changing—
until it became a sturdy, bushy plant.
Buds formed, and then beautiful flowers unfolded.

In our Christian walk,
we too must first die to ourselves,
surrendering our wills to that of our Maker.
The newness of his life within us
begins to germinate and take root.
We begin to push through problems
and obstacles.
As we continue to draw up
nourishment from him—
to become strong and vigorous in his truth—
fruit that we could never produce by ourselves
begins to first bud, and then bloom.
And it is all the work of the Master Gardener.

The July 29-August 1 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference is presently in the planning stage. We’ve got 38 on faculty with 12-15 more to be added. Online registration opens April 1.

Every Christian writer should have a copy! I love the emphasis on Scripture in each reading, since it points us to the One who has called us to Write His Answer. I found this book soon after the 1st edition came out, and I have read and studied and gone through it several times since then. It has been the means God has used to encourage, challenge, and enable me to write the books He has planned for me to write.
