I imagine that our heavenly Father's heart must swell with at least as much joy (and I'm sure it's more) as mine when he see's his daugthers on this earth KNOW AND DECLARE THAT THEY ARE A DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH KING!
Isn't that interaction a common occurance in our own lives, inner thinkings and whisperings????The world and whatever evil voice that is that tries to convince us we are silly for thinking such things and there is no way we are the daughters of a King.
May we respond like my daughter with full belief and knowledge that indeed we are princesses. Reese KNOWS this because she spends A LOT of time with her mom who tells her who she is, and she trusts her mom. Her mom KNOWS this because SHE spends a lot of time with her heavenly Father reading His words, and she trusts Him. He says in Ephesians 1:3-6;
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be ADOPTED AS HIS SONS/DAUGHTERS through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- to the praise of his glorious grace which he has freely given us in the One he loves."
"To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God...." John 1:12
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called CHILDREN OF GOD! AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE!!!!..Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."1 John 3:1 & 2
"Because you are sons/daughters, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." So you are no longer a slave, but a son/daughter; and since you are a son/daughter, God has made you also an heir." Galatians 4:6
When we hear the world (or ourselves) try to convince us, just like those little McDonald boys tried to convince Reese, that we are not the daughter of a King, may we be able to respond to those voices quickly and confidently that "YES, WE ARE PRINCESSES!" May we KNOW this because we spend A LOT of time with the King and we trust him. Blessings from Bombadil. May your soul be watered and may you water another's soul. Kristy Joy Link
