From heartless taunting to treasured title...
There is a long story behind how a paper crown could put such a smile of contentment and assurance on the face of this twenty-seven-year-old woman.. and one day I hope to tell it.
For now, there is only time to say:
"The LORD is my strength and my song,
and He has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise Him,
my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
The LORD is a man of war;
the LORD is his name."
- Exodus 15:2-3
"I am my Beloved's and His desire is for me."
- Song of Solomon 7:10
"You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you."
- Isaiah 26:3
"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!'"
- Romans 8:15
I am so thankful for my adoption into the family of God.
Knowing my Heavenly Father helps me to better know myself and recognize that I am a daughter of the King!
I am, and will always be, His little warrior princess.
A paper crown... for now...
