A willing heart also produces a grace for sacrifice. Transformational writing requires a sacrifice—of time alone and away from family, friends, and the things we enjoy. It also requires a sacrifice of effort. Effectual writing producing change comes from deep within the stunning victories and crushing defeats of your personal experience. To open those hidden caverns and draw from what you’ve lived through is extremely tough. Yet God will ask you to revisit those places from time to time so that you might provide a helping hand and an encouraging word to another traveler struggling along the same pathway. Sacrifice is just another word for love when its source is a willing heart.
Ultimately, a willing heart will produce a guaranteed servant—one that can be counted on when needed most. People are often looking for answers, for help, or for direction when they read. A servant with a willing heart writes transformational material regardless of their chosen genre because their words flow out of a listening and obedient heart. Whenever we listen and are obedient God lavishes more on us than we can contain. Out of that overflow comes the power to transform.
And that power and transformational effect will find its way into print through the pen of a willing heart. The words of your wiling heart may be the catalyst God uses to transform the world.
We love helping your growing in your writing career.

Thanks for this. Transformed lives is exactly what I want from my inspirational true story that takes the reader from my suicide attempt, to how I got there, to how hope in God walked beside me through the valley and out the other side. Please pray that God uses Success Redefined – Abundant Life After Loss to transform lives. May God bless you and your readers as you write with a willing heart.
