To sit and scratch on the wall of a cave. To mutter good words and listen to the echo. Who will read? God. Who will listen? God. Who will promote? God. Who will reward? God.

If we write for the sake of publication we enter in to a realm of pride. Here they pay with money or flattery, or worse upon worse with neglect. The one who writes for the sake of publication puts himself before a firing squad. They will either kill you with pride, wound you with money, or tear you to pieces with neglect.

But the one who writes on the wall of his cave, for the glory of the One who gives him life, writes with a pure heart. He does not seek the rewards of this world; money, pride and neglect.

He writes for the sake of the day when he appears before the majestic Lord of life. All that can be gained will be a crown tossed at the feet of the Holy One. The cave scratcher learns these things. And he finds himself free to tell the truth.
