Not so coincidently, there are some pretty clear Bible verses about this. Everything is our life has to do with God. As @naiya-dyani said, glorifying God is our purpose in life!

1 Corinthians 10:31, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Whats more, God actually has everything to do with our writing. He gave you and me the ability, desires, ideas, and resources we need to write. Not everyone has these things. The ability to write is actually a gift. It’s not a given. And we know that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17.

Jesus told a parable of a man who separated his word from God and considered it solely his. Luke 12:16-21 says, “And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

Now, I’m not trying to say, “This is @phoenix, that awful person!” I’m saying this is all of us. I too often forget what the point of it is. My writing is the thing I most take pride in. Nothing in our life is apart from God. Nothing in this world really belongs to us.

Does than answer your question? I hope you haven’t felt like I’m coming down on you for not knowing all this stuff already.
