These past few weeks, papa has been teaching me a lot about my royalty. Living my life fully, as a daughter of the Holy King. I wish that I could say that it’s been all fun and dreamy, but it’s been quite the contrary. Life as a princess is hard y’all!
I have been trying to write this blog in my head for a while now, but I keep failing to find a way to include everything in just one blog! So, alas I have decided to do a fun mini series blog on all the truth papa has been speaking to me on the subject! So without further ado, enjoy!

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. 1st Peter 2:9
Royal Sons and Daughters are people of honor.
Our speech, actions, work ethic, social networking. Everything. It should all be dripping with honor.
I treat people with honor because I am a person of honor – regardless of how I am treated in return.
I know who I am.
I know whose I am.
I am a daughter of the living God. Fully loved, accepted, redeemed and delighted in.
It is these things, hidden in the core of my identity, that I cling to when when something comes and try’s to threaten my honor.
I am the beloved of God Almighty.
When those around me fail to treat me as such, I pray that I have the strength to treat them with honor anyways, and in doing so, I will have the attitude of Christ. Showing them the love of the father, as his goodness leads them to repentance.
I am in full control of the way I act, react, respond, and speak. His power has given me everything we need to lead a life of godliness.
This means that I will treat the man cursing me, and spewing cuss words at me with honor. I will treat my church with honor when it hurts me, even when I need to bite my tongue to hold back the bitter words that are just beneath the surface. I will even treat my enemies with honor.
I will honor the freedom I have been given by standing firm, and not submitting again to the yoke of slavery.
I will treat my body with purity, respect and honor. I will be a lady of honor in the way I dress, and in the way I act towards men. I will also do my very best to honor their purity.
Not because of any rules. Not because I am under the law, and not as any form of legalism. But because I am a daughter, and my desire is to honor my father.
Because that is the supernatural way of royalty, and that is what our father calls us each to.
You are a Son
You are a Daughter.
Welcome to the table of the King.
