Our Identity: Princess AND Daughter

 God's Princess /Daughters

We have been exploring the idea of our nobility and how we are God's princesses, along with the expectations that go along with that title. We became princesses upon our second birth...but sometimes, just like in the natural, it takes time for us to act like it.

Let's take a step back to remember that not only are we God's princesses, we are also His daughters.

This is our position, and our relationship with Our Father because of Jesus.

As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, 'Come out from them and be separate', says the Lord.'Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. And, I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters', says the Lord Almighty.”  - 2 Corinthians 6:16-18

...And guess what? The next letter in our name, "CANDACE", is D for "daughters".

 The parent-child relationship between us and God is fascinating! He is the perfect parent rearing the imperfect child to a perfected state.

As parents, we can sometimes see the parallels between God's parenting and ours. (Although His ways are exponentially greater, of course.)

He parents with grace and mercy, unconditional love, high expectations, forgiveness, praise, encouragement, and sacrifice. Many of us, as parents or children in the natural, can relate.

It's great being God's princess, but sometimes that title carries so much responsibility. So, this month, let's set the princess tiaras aside for a moment, and just focus on being daughters of the perfect Father.
