So when I made the decision to turn my life over to him completely, I realized it was a natural progression of love for myself and a strong sense of self-worth. His love attracts others to me and gives me the power to love others well.

Learn how to repair your self-esteem, trust in the Lord to guide you, and embrace your heritage as a daughter to The King. Hold your head high, because you are "wonderfully made."
Excerpt
Excerpt from Chapter 1:
"Woman is not just a pretty sidekick to man. Woman plays one of the most essential and intricate roles in history; everyday honored for her love, courage, service, and example, and forever remembered in women like Mary, Esther, and Deborah.
Sadly, many women have forgotten or never realized who they are. They place their self-esteem in the hands of sinful and flawed people who have distorted views of humanity. Then women fail to accept their positions as daughters of The King, thereby failing to realize their rights as daughters, their God-given talents, and their responsibilities as a woman.
So many women hate themselves. They hate how they look. They think they have no talents or skills. I have heard many women say, “I could never do that.” “I’m not smart enough.” Or, “I’m not pretty enough.” I have said those things.
As women, we often fail to recognize our talents and we never seem to be satisfied with our bodies and the way we look. We allow society and its twisted thinking to tell us what is beautiful. And when we don’t match up to the perfect look of the month we feel ugly, stupid, and hopeless. That has got to end!
The Lord tells you that you are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). What does that mean? It means you were created to be awed and revered as a holy, powerful, gifted, and beautiful masterpiece of the Lord. Human beings are the Lord’s magnum opus: his single greatest work. Nothing in all creation is greater than you!
When I reflect upon my own creation, I am reminded of Psalm 139:13, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” With his own hands the Lord created me. He designed my nose, lips, hips, and thighs. The size 11 shoe I wear is part of his design. He gave me my personality: bold, passionate, motivated, and creative. And yet, at times, I have struggled to love how God created me. I have wished and prayed for green eyes, bigger breasts, smaller hips, longer hair, and so on. Those things are not eternal. Nor will they bring me eternal happiness. My joy, my confidence must come from God, not a 36”-24”-36” figure. I am beautiful to my Father. And better yet, I will be beautiful and flawless in heaven. And until I get there, God is not judging me by my cup size or the size of my hips. He loves me no matter what. He loves me in ways I cannot imagine. God, my Father, loves me even when I do not love myself.
Your true self-esteem and self-worth have to come from God. He created you. He knows his creation is good, and God is never wrong!
As you accept your position as a daughter of The King, you become spiritual royalty. You become a princess, a Divine Princess, in fact."
