You are royalty! Act like it!
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy....For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children...As you come to Him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to Him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ…You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’S hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.”
1 Peter 2:9-10; Romans 8:14,16; 1 Peter 2:4-5; Isaiah 62:3
and I mean it! Yours forever, Abba
I can just hear our God saying to me …
You are My child! You are my masterpiece! Because I am The King, you are My Prince or My Princess...eternal royalty. Now don’t get puffed up by this knowledge. With this comes great responsibility and calling. There is an unimpeachable line of authority - King then Prince | Princess. Keep this ever in your mind and on your heart. Remember also, that as My child, your complete loyalty belongs to Me. However, I do desire for you to see who you are through My eyes in order that you will live your life with grace and confidence, tempered with humility.
Your turn ... Gaze at your reflection. Who and what do you see? Probably not royalty ... right? Reread the scriptures. Do this three times. Now as you reflect on My truth, close your eyes and imagine how I see you. Take your time and receive My truth. Now look again. Repeat until you see the royalty you are My child. Write these passages of truth where you will see them regularly to remind you who you are.
Now joyfully pray ...
“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His Name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.”
Psalm 100
