"9 - But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light;
10 - who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. 11- Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
12- having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation."
-- I Peter 2:9-12
vs. 9a - Who am I? I am chosen, royal, holy and special! I am the Bride of Christ, a Daughter of the King - a princess!!
vs. 9b - My job as princess? To proclaim the praises of my King who called me out of the darkness. Praise Him!
vs. 11 - How do I live like a princess? Abstain from fleshly lusts (keep away from sin); conduct myself in an honorable fashion (act like a princess should)
vs. 12 - Why act like a princess? That I might bring glory to my King.
Abba, thank you that I am, indeed, Your Daughter - a Daughter of the Great King. Help me to live in such a way as befits a princess - that I might reflect the graciousness and glory of my Father, the King.
