I remember the day the Lord told me to write a book. I had no interest in writing anything, especially a book. I thought I wasn’t qualified to be an author and needed an English degree to write a book. Then I remembered God wouldn’t tell me to write a book for no reason and that He would help me. So, I decided to trust and obey God and began researching. I read online resources to learn about writing a book and the steps to become a self-published author. I learned about ISBNs and barcodes; I never knew their importance until I went to list my book online. Designing the book cover, learning about the copyright page, and writing one were all new to me as well.
When the time came to write this book, I knew I could not do it without God’s help. So, I asked God to tell me what He wanted me to write about and to give me the words and tools to finish this book. God is always ready to help His children, so He provided me with the assistance I required for this project. The book I wrote ultimately became a prompted journal, and I incorporated goal-setting tools, bible study prompts, and daily assignments to help maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul. It took months to write the book, which was longer than I expected. Subsequently, I completed the book, published it, and officially became a self-published author.
This book is a 30-day guided journal that explores cultivating self-love in a biblical context and how the love of God is essential to developing lasting self-love. Self-love is essential, but God, the creator of love, must be at the center for it to endure. Understanding the love of God changed how I viewed self-love, my walk with God, and how I chose to make decisions, big and small. I learned life is sweeter when lived with intention and having self-love rooted in God. When I achieved this self-love God’s way, I began to witness God transform every aspect of my life in a way I could never imagine. This daily journal focuses on developing the foundation of self-love using the word of God and keeping God at the center of the journey to lasting self-love. It is a life-changing journey that is worth it. I am speaking from experience when I say that the love of God has saved my life.
This book is a 30-day guided journal about loving ourselves God’s way. God loves us completely and unconditionally and calls us to extend that love to ourselves. But how can we truly love if we don’t understand the depth of His love for us? God, our Heavenly Father, is the perfect example of love; through Him, we learn to love wholeheartedly. Understanding the love of God changed my perspective on love, walking with God, and how to make decisions, big and small. I learned life is sweeter when lived with intention and having love for myself rooted in God, not myself or substances. When I obtained this type of love in God’s way, I began to witness God transform every aspect of my life in a way I could never imagine. This guided journal is a companion on a transformative journey to loving ourselves God’s way. I designed it to be used alongside the Bible; it will help foster a deeper connection with God’s love and equip readers to develop a lasting love for themselves. Go on a journey with this guided journal and experience the life-changing power of God’s love. It’s a journey that’s worth it. I am speaking from experience when I say that the love of God has saved my life.
One of the ways God made this book-writing process easy was by showing me I already had the content for this prompted journal written in my journals from over the years. God helped me take what I learned from Him in 8 years and turn it into an easy-to-follow 30-day guided journal to help people love themselves God’s way. This process was a blessing to me as I reminisced on the love of God in my life and how it made me into the woman I am today. I know this journal will bless you and your loved ones.
