Sunday Morning Encouragement

Good Morning Precious Friends,


Well, this is it! Less than a week from Christmas!

Friday evening was our annual Christmas Tea at church. Our theme this year was, Daughters of the King. Everyone wore a pink tiara and we are truly daughters of a mighty King!

Sheri Rose Shepherd wrote an awesome book called, My Prince Will Come. I want to encourage you during this busy time of the year with some great thoughts from her book.

We have been crowned with forgiveness, salvation, and acceptance into God’s kingdom. Because His Spirit is in us, we are now adorned with his Beauty. Now is the time to shine for Him – let’s not miss a moment of what He has for us to do! Remember, just as God placed Queen Esther in the court of King Xerxes so that she could save her people, our heavenly King has put us in a particular place in order to save people who don’t yet know him.

We are appointed to be His princesses for such a time as this. Our reign is now! Put on your God-appointed crown and take your royal position.

This royal call is not about our accomplishments. Our King has done it all. He died on the cross for our sins so that we can begin our eternal reign while we are here. Our reign is about our confidence in our King, and about investing our time and God-given talents in eternity. We have come into this world with nothing, and we will leave with nothing except the legacy of those we lead to the Lord. The only significant thing we will leave behind us is our witness for Jesus and the memory of a life lived in faith in Him. So don’t let the devil distract you for another moment with all the busyness we face during this time of the year. Choose to make your life matter for all eternity. Don’t allow anything or anyone to keep you from your calling! And remember that it was not the crown on her head that made Esther a great queen. It was her heart for her God and her people and her willingness to serve Him. So live for your King, and He will crown you in His glory for all to see you are His.

Merry Christmas beautiful ladies! May God continue to bless you in mighty ways.
Love you,
Debbie

  1. What a beautiful table! Thanks for the lovely post...interestingly, my theme these days is all about "princess"! Recently a good friend gave me "His princess, Love letters from your King".
    What a wonderful devotional...and it is very interesting how the theme for the day often co-incides with my day! Yes, we are His princesses...His daughters...what a priceless treasure and honor to be the daughter of the King!
    I hope your Christmas will be filled with joy...
