ENCOURAGEMENT FOR TODAY- Are you being, “Liked?”
As many know, I’m getting ready to publish my 10th book in July. I am excited and have hope that the words on the pages penetrate hearts as well as entertains the reader.
However, as a writer and speaker, I must admit I become overly concerned about how well my work and what I do are “Liked” by others and social media. I get worried if a post I place on Facebook or Instagram doesn’t get a like or reply. Often, when I am writing, I stop the beautiful process of writing outside of my head and think about if anyone will like or read my work.
Today, I was reminded in my quiet time and reading that only one thing that counts is what I do for the Lord and His approval. Regardless, of how many people “Like” me or approve of my work, I must come back to the question, “Am I doing and writing what I believe the Lord is directing me to do?” If the answer is yes, then I need to remember, He is in process of working out His plan and purpose that I cannot see. Yes, I might wonder what is going on and feel like I am not moving forward or being used. Yet, that is where I must trust that He knows the plan and I don’t.
Perhaps, you are feeling like that also. You are not getting the recognition or the following you desire and try to compare or do things to be like others. I encourage you as I encourage myself to remember if we are obedient to what the Lord is directing us to do, not only will we be amazed at what He does through our obedience, but we will be clearly walking in our purpose that pleases Him alone.
Be Encouraged.
You can do this!
Take care,
Charlotte
