"So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God's fellow workers." 1 Corinthians 3:7-9
Writing is a labor of love for me. Math is not. We all have our gifts. That we recognize those gifts and do them with joy and diligence and (sometimes) passion will only glorify God. It is when we berate ourselves for the gifts we do not have (calculating numbers, for example) that we begin to veer down a negative path away from all that He can and will do with the abilities He has given us.
I encourage those writers who do have a natural gift to cherish it and enjoy it, and those of you who don't to do your very best and realize that God is fine tuning you in other wonderful areas. Let us never LABOR in vain!
