Writer's Block (When you truly do things for God)

I prayed and asked God to give me a title and subject to write my next book on. I told Him that I wanted to write a book that will give Him nothing but praise, one that will bless His name. I attempted to start on it last weekend, but my mind drew a blank. I kept starting paragraphs and deleting them to the point where I tried to brainstorm and I could not even think. 

  I prayed on it again, still tried to start my new book and my mind went blank again. I became a little worried because I hardly ever experienced writer's block. That's when the Lord really spoke to me. I had to be real honest with myself about what I was really writing the book for.

  See, when we do things truly for God and not ourselves, that is blessing Him and bringing Him glory. But when we do good things for our own selfish gain, we are not really doing the Lord's work. I wanted to write a book to bring God glory, and to uplift and encourage each other, but I was moreso doing it because I wanted a big royalty check. 

   Yes. I am going to be honest and a woman about mine. God had to check me, and I had to check myself as well because if I am going to do something in His name, I need to do it the right way. He told me "You are not doing this solely for me, but you are doing this for your own selfish gain." Truth hurts.  I didn't realize it until I was scratching my head wondering how on earth did I get writer's block. 

   I really love God. He no longer allows me to play myself anymore. I appreciate Him for that and I give Him all the praise for this. There are so many people out here that are supposed to be  doing good works for Christ but they're only doing it to get acceptance from people, money, or fame. It is really sad because these people are very weak. 

 I have faith that Christ will put something wonderful to write about in my heart to lead people to Christ. Pray for me and I will definitely pray for you.
