Blessed…
When our children are leaving us to spend time with friends or family, after reminding them to behave, we always whisper to them, “Remember who you are and whose you are.” When you have given your heart and life to God, you are one of His children. With that comes not only a new life and new found responsibilities, but an abundance of promises He has made to each and every one of us. We are His beloved, His blessed ones.
His promises of divine favor in our lives are irrevocable. Your Father makes promises to you that He keeps. Promises of mercy, grace, joy, peace, healing, love, forgiveness, the list is long and one that cannot be exhausted, no matter what your situation.
Find a promise that speaks to your heart today. Read it, memorize it, meditate on it, remind yourself of it when you feel your joy leaving and your heart breaking. Pray your promise back to Him and remind your Father in heaven that He has made this promise to you. Then wait and see what He does. He will answer in ways that you can’t even begin to imagine. That is the Father that you belong to.
Today my heart is to remind the body of Christ that although we do suffer through trials and heartaches like everyone else living in this world, we are no longer of this world. No matter what comes our way, we must remember who we are and whose we are.
I am a child of God, the thought out creation of the one true and living God.
Blue blood runs through my veins.
I am the daughter of a King…and so are you.
“God is not a man, that he should lie. He is not a human, that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?” Numbers 23:19 NLT
Amen, we are princesses.
Last year we had a lesson on this for the 1st grade girls class I taught at church. We followed it with a “princess party”. The theme was – “My heavenly Father is a King, that makes me a princess!” It’s good for us grown-up girls to be reminded of that too!
That is so beautiful. Eventhough, I blog about this subject, it is so good to hear how you put it. Thank you so much for sharing. I needed to hear that today.
God bless!
Thanks, Joanne, for the reminder of our Father’s continuing faithfulness. How often I forget.

This is so true! I remember when I first became a Christian I was given a word that I needed to read God’s word every day, whether it be a verse, a line or a chapter. It keeps us plugged into God.
Joanne,
I am a blood blood too!! Wonderful post. I am going to whisper those words to my daughter often as well. Hugs~
Thank you for this beautiful reminder of the Father’s love Joanne.
Thank you for reminding me I’m a princess…I sure haven’t felt like one lately.
