Princesses of the King

It is time to celebrate being princesses of the King of Kings. Unfortunately not every woman or girl understands that they are a princess. Many have grown up hurt, some abused, some never feeling wanted. Some have grown up with such poor self esteem that they don’t know their worth and it reflects in the way they treat themselves and in their choices in relationships. God wants you to know that you are precious. You are worth more than what you are settling for.

If Queen Elizabeth called your house today and told you that she had decided to adopt you, you would leave your old life behind and you would become a princess. You would have all the benefits of being a princess and you could enjoy being treated as one. Someday you might even come to believe that you really were a princess.

The Bible tells us that if we are followers of Christ, we are joint heirs with Him, and we know He is the King of Kings, therefore we are also royalty. We have been adopted into royalty. We are part of God’s family. We are His children and because of that status we are princesses. But we happen to live in a world that has lost the true meaning of what a princess really is.

We watch wedding programs on TV where brides want a princess, fairy tale wedding and instead of acting like a princess, they act like anything but. They stamp their feet and demand their own way. They basically make everyone’s lives miserable. That is not a princess.

There is also the world of pageants, where several contestants compete to wear the crown. They are judged on talent, looks, the way they walk, the way they look in a swimsuit and other shallow criteria. That is not being a princess either.

I have seen parents and grandparents who have the idea that in order to treat a little girl like a princess, they need to give in to her every demand. They spoil her to the point that no one enjoys being around her. They have not created a princess; they have created a monster.

The life of a real life princess is much different than what we see on TV or in movies. A real life princess spends her time serving other people than herself. She has a life of public service. Princess Diana traveled the world involved in humanitarian efforts. Queen Elizabeth is the patroness or president of over 600 organizations. Princess Sarah is involved in many social causes. The life of a princess is a life of service.

There were real princesses in the Bible as well. Queen Esther was not born a queen. She was like many modern day princesses, born a commoner, but she married a king so she became royalty. Esther was prepared for a year to become the next queen. The most important training that Esther received was not from the court lessons, but from the lessons her parents and her uncle Mordecai had taught her: to rely on God. When her people were about to be annihilated she put aside her fear for her own safety and turned to God and encouraged her subjects to do the same. She lead by example and she was strong in her faith. A real princess relies on God and knows who she is in Him.

Sarah, whose name means princess, was strong. She knew that as a daughter of the King of Kings, He would always protect and provide for her. So she willingly followed her husband’s leading and went to an unknown land. A real princess knows she does not have to fear because her Father in Heaven is watching over her.

You may have grown up feeling like you weren’t worth anything. Maybe someone at sometime hurt you and made you wish you were anything but a girl. Maybe you were born into a family that didn’t value the life of a girl, but would have rather have had a boy. Let me tell you that God loves you. He chose to make you a girl. He didn’t want you to be a boy, He wanted a girl, someone He could make into a princess. He wanted you to know that He made you with feminine traits so that you would be different than the boys He made. He wants you to celebrate your uniqueness because He made you exactly the way He wanted you to be.

Our little ones don’t only need to hear that they are princesses but they need to see you believing that you are one too. We can’t just tell little girls that they are a princess if they see us living like anything but, with poor self esteem, living in abusive relationships, and not caring for ourselves.

When we are born into God’s family we are a princess by birth but we may not know how to act like a princess. Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. A princess is to do good works.


Mat 6:1 Take heed that you do not do your merciful deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in Heaven. A princess doesn’t do her good deeds to be seen or praised.

Mat 12:50 For whoever shall do the will of My Father in Heaven, the same is My brother and sister and mother. A princess doesn’t do things her own way but seeks God’s will for her life and sets out to do it.

Mar 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive it so that also your Father in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses. A princess forgives wrongs that have been done against her. This is a hard thing to do on our own strength but if we ask our Father for help He is more than willing to give it to us.

Mat 6:26 Behold the birds of the air; for they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them; are you not much better than they are? A princess knows that God will provide for her, so she doesn’t worry.

Psa 45:9 “Kings' daughters are among Your precious ones”. Whether you feel like it or not, God says you are precious. You are precious in His sight.

“Isa 43:1 But now so says the Lord who created you… He who formed you… Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. Isa 43:4 Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honored, and I have loved you”.

The time has come for all of God’s children to realize who they are in Christ. You are precious and loved. He loved you so much that He laid down His life for you.

If you have not grown up knowing how important you are to God, it is time for you to understand that now. And it is important for us to teach our daughters that they are princesses of the King of Kings. They need to grow up knowing that as a princess, they are cherished and loved and as a princess they need to seek God’s will for their life and do His work.

It is so important that as princesses we find other women who don’t know they are princesses yet and to tell them of the love their Father in Heaven has for them. Ladies, God loves you. You are precious in His sight. My prayer for you is that you realize who you are in Christ. I pray that if you are living below God’s standards that you would think enough of yourself to climb up to His arms. He is waiting for you to come to Him, so He can bless you and love you and care for you.
