Ladies-

I’ve been thinking lately.

Why did we come into the world with an innate desire to be viewed as a princess? Why, as little girls, did we dress up in frilly pink dresses, twirling around and around, desperately seeking the attention of anyone who would watch us? Why, now that we are women, are we still drawn to the idea of being a princess? And I came to a simple, yet complex, answer.

Because God made us that way.

Duh, right? Kind of. Let me explain…

Have you ever thought about what defines a princess? What sets a princess apart from any other girl? We all know that it’s not just because she was born in royalty. At least half of the princesses that the media has handed us, such as Snow White, Belle, and Cinderella, were never actually born into royalty. We all love that story of a beat down, overworked, under-loved girl finally being picked up by the hands of fate and deposited into the arms of her Prince Charming, riding on a white steed off into the sunset toward their “happily ever after.” I do not know of any woman whose heart doesn’t tug, even the smallest amount, at the thought of Prince Charming, a beautiful castle, and happily ever after. But we all know there’s something special about that girl that makes her a princess. Something special that catches Prince Charming’s eye. Something that leaves him transfixed. Something that he hasn’t found in anyone else.

A princess is a picture of beauty, strong and yet vulnerable, confident yet humble. A princess is unique. There’s no one quite like her. That’s why Prince Charming is completely taken with her. He’s mesmerized and pursues her, no matter where she goes. He never stops looking for her; never stops seeking her heart.

Ladies, do you realize that God calls you His princess? His Bride? Do you realize that He is the Prince Charming you have been waiting for your entire life? Jesus is the Prince of all princes. Oh, don’t get me wrong, He knows our desire for earthly companionship and love. He engrained that longing in us. Do not mistake this as me telling you that you need to become a nun, join a convent, and never think about another man in your life. No, that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is this…

The Prince of all princes has His eye set on one special princess.

You.

The Creator of the world, King above every king, ruler of every bit from the highest point in heaven all the way down to the lowest places in hell, is the Prince Charming that you’ve been waiting for. Your Prince Charming. He’s vying for your heart. He came to court you. He paid a big price. A huge price. And He sees so much value in you that He pays it again and again and again day after day. You are His princess, made uniquely for Him. By Him for Him.

You have that “something.” That something that leaves the Prince unable to do anything but pursue you. That something that leaves Him completely infatuated with you. That something that would cause Him to lay his LIFE down for you.

Think about that now every time you wish you looked like someone else. Every time you think somebody else has more value than you. Every time you start thinking you aren’t worth anything.

Take it to your Prince. He wants to show you how beautiful you are… How priceless you are… How utterly, irreversibly, irrevocably in love with you He is.

He wants to show you that you are His princess.
