And, in that still small voice, God told me that even if my book was never published, it served his purpose: it brought her closer to him. Since then, I've always tried to remember my writing is to serve him first, not me.Henry McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636211246051854954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-24377762302738670302016-07-05T14:09:25.075-04:002016-07-05T14:09:25.075-04:00Thank you, Sarah.

And it's not always fun. However, as you stated, He rewards us with character growth, a more intimate relationship with Him, and new friends who bring joy to our lives. If I'm never published, these gifts are worth the effort. God bless you, brother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632691961464703799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-10750666368172014662016-06-23T08:44:24.317-04:002016-06-23T08:44:24.317-04:00Thanks for sharing these verses and principles.

As the release of my first book approaches (end of August) and there's yet more to learn and do, your post serves as a "sacred echo" for me as I begin today's work.

I know that I am saved to serve the body of Christ, specifically writers. God has placed me in the position of Associate Editor for Almost an Author. I know many others are more qualified for the ministry. I have only been writing for 2 years. I did not want to be a writer. God changed my heart. He impressed upon my spirit, "Cherrilynn, you are to promote, encourage and pray for these writers, if I chose to publish your writing that is my business." I write out of obedience. God has blessed me with a book contract. I spend hours learning the craft, promoting my writer friends and praying. I have much to learn but I am blessed to be in His will.truthtoshine.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911184699045569514noreply@blogger.com
