If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess
inside . . .
It is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when
no one knows it.
~~Frances Hodgson Burnett
This
morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest
Christian Women Writers of All Time.
You
are a daughter of the King.
Perhaps
it’s hard to believe that. You buy some of your clothes at yard sales. Your “chariot”
has quite a few miles on it. Your house doesn’t look like a castle and it needs
remodeling. But you’re in temporary quarters now. If Jesus is your Savior, your
Father is King of the whole universe—imagine it! And someday you will live with
him.
In
the meantime, he calls you to be a princess on the inside. Sure, maybe it’s a
little more of a challenge because no one sees, no one knows, no one necessarily
expects you to act like the King’s daughter. But that is the best triumph of
all—to live like the princess you are when no one else knows, to live like Jesus even
when it’s not expected.
Live
for your King, your Highness. You are his princess.
Prayer
for Meditation
My King, thank you for calling me your
own daughter. I love you.
