royalty

i am, at the core, a typical girly-girl.  i did not obsess about the royal wedding, but i did tivo it & watch it with a big smile on my face the entire time.  why?  because i want to be a princess!  what girl doesn't?  what is it about royalty that draws us so?  i believe it is because GOD placed it in our hearts.  in 1 peter 2:9 He says that "you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation..."  if GOD is the KING of kings & LORD of lords, and if He promises that i am an "heir of GOD & co-heir with CHRIST"...then guess what?  i am a daughter of the KING, thus a princess!  i may not wear a tiara now, but i will get mine someday. all the pomp & circumstance that the united kingdom can muster is nothing compared to the pageantry & majesty of the Kingdom of Heaven.  on that day, i will be honored to lay my tiara at the feet of JESUS and meet my KING face to face.
