Stripped of my gift to receive His Gift - testimony

Before my wilderness experience, I wrote poetry and short stories that expressed my feelings and showed my talent to others. I loved to receive adoration and praise for my writing talent. I used charming words to manipulate people a certain way. I knew that I was talented and felt that no one could ever say anything negatively about my writings. But while in the wilderness I met Jesus and the first thing that happened when I received Him was I got writer’s block. I could not understand it. I had so much to express about my new life in God but could not get the words on paper. After a couple of years God opened it up so that I could write but now it was His words not mine. It was His understanding not mine. When I tried to write with my own strength I would fail miserably. God had to take away my writing gift so that I could be humbled to know that only His words mattered. He exposed me to the flaw in my writing which was self pride0. Now when I write I am dependant on God to give me the words to write. I wait on Him to open up my understanding and lean on Him to write through me. God wants to use those, whose desire is for Him to be glorified through their gifts.
