This article is an entry in the MAI Devotional Writing Contest.<\/em><\/p>\n

By Daniel Nalbantski, Bulgaria<\/p>\n

I have lots of fun writing novels. I feel the master of my protagonists\u2019 destiny. I can do with them anything I want: I could make them talk the way I\u2019d talk, and do things I\u2019d do. I could kill them without me being sent to jail. I could let them into a bank and come out with bags of money. I could make them bankrupt even if they were very rich. As an author I cross out, give up on some events, insert others, put one protagonist\u2019s lines in the mouth of another.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the same thing in real life. I\u2019ve no right to turn things back, to cancel or correct. What I\u2019ve done cannot be changed. It\u2019s the same with all of us. Those who married the wrong person cannot simply say \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d and leave. Those who insulted cannot take their words back. Those who killed cannot get the victim\u2019s life back. Life is a book that cannot be corrected.<\/p>\n

What inspires me is that God acts as an editor who lets me correct my life. He forgives my sins and gives me new opportunities. As if every time he tells me: \u201cMy friend, let\u2019s start anew. I don\u2019t like that. Let\u2019s try it another way.\u201d<\/p>\n

I often reread the story from Acts 2 about those people who listened to Peter\u2019s sermon and felt a rising terror because of what they\u2019d done; they feared they\u2019d be stricken by God\u2019s anger on the spot. This made them cry out: \u2018Brothers, what shall we do?\u201d (v. 37) Peter didn\u2019t reply: \u201cThere is nothing to do, sorry! Whatever you sow, you will reap!\u201d On the contrary, he showed them how wide open the door to forgiveness and new beginning was.<\/p>\n

As an author I need to finalize my novel one day and send it for printing. From that moment on my authority over my protagonists is over. It\u2019s the audience\u2019s turn and I\u2019ll have to answer to their questions.<\/p>\n

One day it\u2019ll be all over. I\u2019ll finish the book of my life. What will it be? Will my Heavenly Editor like it? He will, because we\u2019ve written it together.<\/p>\n

Merciful Father, thank You for the years You give me and for the corrections You want me to<\/em>\"Daniel<\/a> make into my life. Give me the strength to follow Your advice and be approved by You.
