His Princess

His Princess:

 Am I pretty enough, thin enough, tone enough… I, like many women find myself saying this over and over again. Society has bombarded women with how they should look at every angle in life . I look at beautiful, perfectly tanned women on magazine covers as I am checking out at the grocery store and think “ I wish I looked like that.”  My heart breaks for what some women will do to simply get a man to pay attention to them and it all comes from what this world says we should look like, but as Christian women in this world we are called to be in the world but not of it. (Romans 12:2 ) However the overwhelming push of this world comes on us just as strong as any other woman and we quickly get sucked into thinking we have to look a certain way. We forget that our Creator already calls us “  fearfully and wonderfully made “ ( Psalm 139:14)  It is a daily battle sometimes for me to remember this because this world is so poisoned . I encourage you dear sister that if you ever feel like you are not worthy or that you are not pretty enough, not thin enough, to simply remember who you are in Him. You are His beloved Daughter who He deeply loves. He paid for you with His life and He treasures you more above anything else in His creation. We are His treasured possession ( Deuteronomy 7:6)  .  How you handle yourself in this world as a daughter of the King far exceeds how you look. Looks will fade darling, but your personality, love and spirit will not.  We are called as His daughters to have a gentle spirit ( 1 Peter 3:3-4 )  A gentle spirit does not go around comparing to other women or looking down on others but instead it offers grace and a safe haven, a place of rest . Most of us have read Proverbs 31 and we all desire to be a Proverbs 31 woman but what is the most beautiful trait of this woman? She fears the Lord ( Proverbs 31:30 )  Her clothes, her children , her husband , all her good deeds, do not make her beautiful instead it is her faith and trust in her King Jesus.  This is the true beauty of a woman in this twisted world. Not being a size 0 or having perfect hair but having a heart like her Maker and basking in His glory..  Remember your worth and beauty when the world tells you that you are not enough , beloved you are enough and you are His priceless treasure.
