ladies, read this:
(written by christa black.)
so
are you living as a daughter? i know i'm still learning how to.
i've
been taught for years that my obedience to god proved my love..
and not
that i'm just a daughter in the house...loved by my daddy no matter
what.
...believe
me...when you let that sink down...waaaay down....
you'll
start to act differently.
you won't feel ashamed because you're not
serving enough at church...
or because you're not reading your bible
enough.
you won't be able to put your bible down
because you can't get
enough of the giant love-letter your father has left for you.
the more
i read the word...
and the more i'm learning about the new covenant...
the more i can't get enough.
i want
to soak in the presence of my god...
i want to hear his heartbeat.
i
want to feel his breath on my face.
i want everything that the bible
has for me...everything.
and i want to receive it...
not because i
worked hard enough or was obedient enough...
BUT BECAUSE I'M A DAUGHTER!
do you realize, dear beauties...your story??
...crippled...lame...broken..in
hiding because you fear that the king,
once he knows who you truly are,
will have it out for you..and punish you..
but when you walk before God...
he doesn't see you as your sins.
he sees the covenant that you made with Jesus
and he only sees that.
he sees the blood...
the righteousness...
the holiness...
and he bestows upon you the right of a PRINCESS....
you are daddy's little princess.
that is who you are...that is who you were created to be...
\i'm not sure if that made any impact on any of you,
but for a girl who doesn't have a father around at all
and the only thing he seems able to do
is tear and break her down,
a father who hardly knows, himself, what the word "love" means..
this really silences the cries from that little girl's heart.
"Your feminine heart was created with the greatest of all possible dignities:
as a reflection of God's own heart."
