Waking Up Into Royalty
She stood there swaying back and forth, eyes shut tight and arms lifted high in surrender. The words, “I love you”, continued to fall off of her lips in adoration of her daddy. As she was pouring out her heart, He interrupted her. “No, I love you”, is what she heard. At that moment, He wanted her to know something and that something was His love for her.
“I love you so much. My gaze is fixed upon you. I am completely captivated by you.”
He didn’t just love her, He was enthralled by her.
“You are my daughter and I am the King.”
Since He started speaking, she could see Him. It was a beautiful moment of intimacy between a father and His daughter. He took her into His glorious kingdom. Although utterly focused on Him and the beauty of the words He spoke, she could see it. The vision was vague of detail, but she caught a glimpse of the kingdom glimmering the purest white she had ever seen.
As He looked into her eyes, He continued,
“When I look at you, I don’t see flaws. I see myself because my DNA is in you. You are beautiful because you look like me. You are the way you are because that is how I made you. The grace, the love, and everything good in you is because you are my daughter. It’s all a reflection of me.”
She was so overwhelmed by the love her father was lavishing on her. She was truly beginning to understand what He was trying to portray.
Now delicately taking her by the hand, they began to walk. “I want to take you into all of the secret doors of the kingdom. There is nothing to be hidden from you here. Everything that I have is yours. It’s your inheritance.”
He walked her room by room until finally pausing in one place.
“You were born into royalty; a daughter of the king. It’s time for you to start walking in your royalty. You inherited power and influence at birth. There is no need for you to be looking down on yourself anymore. Hold your head up high and know who you are and whom you look like.”
Then the vision ended and she found herself back where she was before. However, she was left completely taken over by her father’s love for her. As she basked in that moment, she no longer felt the same. She saw herself through different eyes.
What God would halt praises to Him to instead pamper His daughter in His affections for her?
The King of love.
His desire was to open her eyes to see who she really was so that she could be awakened to royalty.
