The Gathering: Daughters of the Living King
You ARE the Daughter of the Most High King
Today we are discussing the fact that you ARE the daughter of the Living King. Did you know God created you and in Genesis chapter 1:31 we can see that “God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.” You are actually created in the image of God. You are a beautiful work of art. Psalm 139:14 says “I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe. You have approached even the smallest details with excellence; Your works are wonderful; I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.”
What a glorious revelation to know that each of us is specifically, and uniquely, created by God! To be a daughter of the Living King with a purpose portraying His likeness here on earth.
My friend, you are so beautiful that Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” So not only are you beautiful but you are created with a divine purpose. You are not an accident….and the God that created the universe was part of your creation. Psalms 139:13 says "For you created my inner being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
Others may see us skin deep, but God sees us for who we are! God sees us as a beautiful, rare gem that is one-of-a-kind. He sees beauty and perfection in everyone He creates and blesses each and every one of us with different talents and gifts! We have been showered with kindness, grace, wisdom, and understanding because of our position as God’s chosen people.
So how can we see ourselves as beautiful in our own eyes? The short answer is to see yourself as God sees you……. WORTHY, LOVED, and His MASTERPIECE. Through scripture, prayer, and fellowship, God reminds us that we are created in His image…. His beautiful image.
All parts of ourselves represent our Maker from our inward beauty which manifests to our outward appearance. When we radiate from within…..when Jesus is in our hearts….and when we are willing and humble, the Living King is gracious enough to magnify His beauty in us. When we shine His radiance from within, we will naturally shine beauty on the outside and all around us. Others will see our joy, our peace, our grace, our delight, and our love, which is all His excellence!
