You, My princess, are destined to win.  I know how tired you often become, just by trying to do and say all the right things.  Take that pressure off yourself, because I did not put it there.  The world may judge you by what they see and hear, but I look within your heart, My child.  I see your desire to please Me, and I see your struggle to please others.  If you want to win this endurance race, you must let go of your need for approval of others and seek My will and My pleasure.  Simplify your life, and let go of the burdens that weigh you down.  You'll find that My grace will lighten your step, and My favor will even draw others to join you.  Jes, at times you will stumble and fall.  But don't worry.  I'm here to help you get back up again-as often as it takes.  Make it your daily passion to run with Me, and I will carry you over the finish line of your faith.  Together we will win!

Love,
Your King and your Champion

Your King and Crown Giver

"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."

You are the apple of My eye.  You're Daddy's girl.  Your earthly father may love and adore you, but his love is not perfect, no matter how great-or small- it is.  Only My love is perfect...because I am Love.  I formed your body.  I fashioned your mind and soul. I know your personality, and I understand your needs and desires.  I see your heartaches and disappointments, and I love you passionately and patiently. My child, I bought you with a price so that we could have an intimate relationship together for all eternity.  Soon we will see each other face-to-face-Father and daughter- and you will experience the wonderful place I have prepared for you in paradise.  Until then, fix your eyes on heaven, and walk closely with Me. You will know that-although I am God- My arms are not too big to hold you, My beloved daughter.
Love,
Your King and your Daddy in heaven

"And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

My Princess... My Chosen One

    I chose you before the foundation of the earth to be My princess.  You are royalty even when you don't feel like a princess.  I will wait for you until you are ready to start living the amazing plans I have for you.  I know you don't know where to begin or how to become what I've called you to be, so let Me teach you day by day.  Start by recognizing who I am:  King of kings and Lord or lords.  The Lover of your soul.  When the two of us meet alone together every day, I will show you how to let go of the things in your life that are holding you back from the blessings I want to give you.
    Remember, My Child, just as I have chosen you, I have given you a choice to represent Me to the world.  If you are willing, I am here to give you all you need to complete your calling.
     Love,
     Your King and Lord who chose you

"You didn't choose me, I chose you.  I appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name."
                                         John 15:16
