Daughter of the Most High God

I remember the day I finally realized I am a daughter of the most high God. I was exhilarated - beyond description. I could barely fathom that after decades of living like a wounded bird, I had discovered that I had the wings to fly. I had had the wings long before I made this realization, but how could I fly without knowing the wings I possessed. Like so many women I have met, I had spent years looking around me to determine my worth. I had been rejected and abandoned by so many significant men in my life that I could not imagine I had a worth at all. But one day, this bird looked up instead of around - and I saw myself as a daughter of the most high God. Then, eventually, I realized I am also a bride of Christ. With God as my father and Jesus as my husband, I was no longer a wounded worthless bird. I had realized I had the wings to fly. My wings are still wobbly, and I have such a very long way to go. Some days, I forget about my wings and I remain on the ground. Some days, I fly but fall because I look around me once again at the people who have hurt me. But then there are the days I fly and I soar. With my eyes, my heart, and my mind fixed on Jesus my beloved, I remember then who I am. I am a daughter of the most high God.

The Life You Were Meant to Live

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10 KJV)."

Are you living the abundant life God created you to live, or are you living less than His best? If you are not living an abundant life, then you are not living God's best. How do I know? First and foremost, God's Word says so! If your life is full of robbery, death, and destruction, the enemy is running rampant through it. I should know! For decades, this princess didn't think of herself as a princess at all. Plagued by multiple addictions, uncontrollable sin, and sheer hopelessness, I had given the devil free reign in my life. Today, I know I am a princess. And, I know who reigns. Jesus. I am learning to live the abundant life He created me to live. This does not mean I am not challenged with difficult life circumstances, but it does mean that in the midst of them I know who I am. I am His. He keeps me safe in the midst of every storm, and He holds me in His arms forever. I am learning I do not ever have to let Him go because He is my beloved. He is my Prince. He is my abundance. I would not trade Him for any other. The devil came to steal my life. Jesus Christ came to give me life. I have chosen God's best. His name is Jesus. He is my abundant life. Forever.
