While writing “East of Eden,” John Steinbeck began each day’s work with a letter to Pascal Covici, his friend and editor. Those letters served to warm him up for his day’s work and became a kind of commentary on the novel itself. I can distinctly remember hoping that someday I might have a relationship like that—a friend who shared my love for books and my passion for writing. God gave me such a friend—Keith Provance, my publisher.
Who is your special friend? Have you prayed for him or her today?
“Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.”
— 1 Samuel 18:1 (NIV 1984)
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for blessing me with a special friend. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
