Writing can be a solitary life. I often sit at home for days, weeks and sometimes months working on book projects, articles and other assignments. It\u2019s bad when going to the dentist seems like a vacation. Seriously, some days I want to chase the FedEx driver down the driveway yelling, \u201cWait! I need to talk to a human being!\u201d <\/p>\n

And sometimes I don\u2019t see the result of my work. I know people buy my books, and on occasions, I\u2019ll get a message online or even a letter that\u2019s been mailed to my publisher. Or I\u2019ll run into someone who says, \u201cI love what you write.\u201d<\/p>\n

I had a woman contact me through my website to tell me that a chapter in one of my books convinced her to give her marriage a second chance. A dad private messaged me on Facebook to tell me he\u2019d heard me speak on the radio, and it had convinced him that he hadn\u2019t been spending enough time with his children. And then he went on to tell me how that had changed his relationship with his family. <\/p>\n

Those are the things that keep writers going, the moments that touch our hearts\u2014but they\u2019re often few and far between. But with my newest book, When God Calls the Heart<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s been different. Because of the television show the book is based on and the 60,000+ Hearties in their fan club on Facebook, I\u2019ve experienced something I\u2019ve never encountered before.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve gotten to see the faces of the people who are being affected by my work.<\/p>\n

My co-author, Brian Bird, and I asked purchasers of our books to post pictures of them with the book when they received their copies or found it in stores. Dozens of pictures began popping up. Beautiful sweet faces. And comments about how God was using this devotional book in their lives. <\/p>\n

I was moved to tears. There was something so special about getting to see those faces and to see how God was using my simple words beyond my wildest expectations. Visual proof that my work was touching lives. <\/p>\n

Sweet friends, most of you probably aren\u2019t writers. But God has given you a specific task to accomplish for Him. Some of you have dreamed big dreams<\/a> for Him. You\u2019ve worked hard\u2014sometimes for years\u2014and maybe it seems like nothing is happening. Or you feel like what you\u2019re doing isn\u2019t of value.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re wrong. You might not get to see the faces of those you\u2019re reaching for Him, but there is no doubt in my mind that whenever we\u2019re faithful to do what God has asked us to do<\/a>, we are impacting the lives of others.<\/p>\n

And, sometimes, God even gives us an oh-so-precious peek at the faces of those whose lives we\u2019ve touched. So keep doing what you\u2019re doing for Him. I can promise you it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
