Nearly every bio you read about me will include "daughter of The King," and as you can see... it's also the title of my blog (my very first blog I might add). I don't use the phrase "daughter of The King" to label myself as some type of princess... even though we all know I am one ;) But rather I use it to label myself as a girl who has been saved, redeemed, and loved by The King of Kings, my Heavenly Father, and my Savior.
Before I met Christ I sat around dreaming of "prince charming" and "Mr. Right." Little did I know that I had a groom waiting for me and preparing a place for me in Heaven. I spent so much time imagining a fairytale love story that I was oblivious to the one REAL love story that was awaiting me. I felt worthless for so long because I thought my worth was found in the eyes of people; but once I realized my worth was not found in man's eyes but in The Lord's eyes, my life was completely changed. I accepted Christ into my life, and I was made new again. I no longer viewed myself as worthless, as an average girl, or as someone who had to please everyone. I began to view myself as beautiful, as someone who was valued and loved, and as a daughter of the King. By accepting Christ to be the Lord of my life, He adopted me to be His child and His princess... I knew that there was nothing in life that could make me any less His.
Each of us have worth and value to The Lord, we each have an amazing purpose in life, we each have beauty in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. And when we choose to accept Christ as our Savior and the Lord of our lives, we are able to find comfort in the beauty of knowing that we are His and that NOTHING can ever change that.
I am not a daughter of The King because of who I am, I am a daughter of The King because of WHOSE I am.
