The content you present, the slant, the mechanics, the language … all of it starts with you, but it’s not about you. It’s about the reader. It is to be constructed so that it directly benefits the reader.
Everything I have been taught about art and creative writing has been from a humanistic perspective. I was told that it's all about expressing myself--my thoughts, feelings, etc.
But it's not that way for the Spirit-filled believer. Our job isn't to tap into something within ourselves and put it on display. Our job is to connect with the heart of God and convey His ideas, attitudes and impressions in a way that touches the hearts of others and impacts them.
