We are Daughters of the King

I’m 3rd of 4 in my family.

Definitely the middle child since the first two are only 14 months apart. I was the quiet one growing up, never as loud or fast as the others. They were capable, I was afraid to try. I was the “sensitive” one, easily hurt, always hiding. I knew early on God loved me, but I couldn’t figure out why. I had nothing to offer like the others did.

My Post

It’s taken a lifetime for me to understand God doesn’t want anything from me except to love Him back. I can’t earn His love, certainly don’t deserve it. But neither does anyone else! That was a revelation that totally changed my perspective.

The same is true of you. You are loved, not because you’re quiet or loud, fast or slow, the one onstage or the one in the audience.

Just because.

Society gives subtle (and blatant) messages telling us who we should be, what we should want, how we should look/act/ dress, and what we should believe. But the only one we should ever listen to is our Creator.

Who are we in His eyes is what matters.

To Him we are the Beloved, a daughter of the King, perfect in Christ. Regardless of our size, shape, color, or how much is in our bank account, we matter so much to Him that He died for us. We should determine our steps, and think of ourselves, according to His truth.

Who does God say you are?

You are unique because God created you. You are loved because He chooses to love you. You are esteemed as a daughter of the Most High King. You are who He created you to be, so the best thing you can do, the best way to thank Him, is to live out that knowledge with gusto!

Let go of comparing yourself to other imperfect people and choose to live a life worthy of His sacrifice. Be who He created you to be.

  1. Hi, Stacy, I’m glad you liked my review of your book “Shattered Image” on Goodreads. I hope it gives it a little boost. I do enjoy your writing style, and I am looking forward to reading “The Color of Truth.” I have 4 more books to read and write reviews on first, then I will read for my pleasure. (I will write a review, of course, but at least, I won’t be under a time crunch.)
    I share your struggles with writing, and I like your conclusion: “That, I realized, is my calling – to do what I can do with what I’ve got.” I should’ve come to that conclusion myself. I’ve gotten away from writing books and retired to writing weekly blog posts, book reviews, and encouraging other authors whom I think have great potential – you’re one of them.
    Hope you have an awe-filled and inspired day.
    Rita
