Most of us have never authored a book and I never thought I would.  It was an amazing process.

Of course, it began with God.  He began placing thoughts in my heart that He wanted me to write a book for Him.  At first I had no idea what I would write, but because He was calling me, I began to pray about it.

He revealed to me that He wanted me to write a daily devotional so that people could spend a few minutes with him each day.  He knows how busy we are and He told me to just make it short and sweet.  He said He wants a close, personal relationship with everyone and in order for us to have that relationship we have to spend time in His Word and in prayer.

I thought, “This will be easy.”  Little did I know what an awesome responsibility this would be; I had to reflect what God wants us to read and pray each day.

At first I just used the scriptures I had highlighted in my Bible.  Then I would pray for the Holy Spirit to give me the words God wanted us to hear.

When I ran out of the highlighted verses, I had to search and pray about which ones He wanted me to use.  This was great because I got to dig deeper and deeper into His Word.

The whole experience was awesome!  I got to spend so much time in His Word and prayer that my relationship with Him grew and grew.  Praise God!

I pray that your relationship will grow by reading His Word and praying each day.
