Be who you are!

I find it very interesting that a two year old girl can tell a 330 pound tattooed man to put on his princess crown and he does, at least he should. God tells us that we are royal children and yet we refuse to wear our crown. Galatians 4:7 says, "So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir." Heir to His thrown!!

Sometimes it is easy for us to listen to people in this world, whether we love them or despise them, and let them dictate who we are or should be. Why is it that we are so willing to accept the perceptions of a person but unable to focus on the amazing reality that we are royal children?

I love playing with my niece Kenley and yes she does often have me wrapped around her little finger, as seen below, but today she reminded me of an amazing truth. We are princes and princesses of God and, in her words, "we are adorable!" Adorable is defined as; inspiring great affection. What greater affection can be inspired than that of our Royal Daddy?

As I was willing to accept the fact that my niece saw us as adorable princesses I realized that I am royal, adopted into a royal family, and from this day on when Kenley asks me to wear my crown I will not neglect to share with her how adorable and royal we truly are.

 
You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:3
