"Princess of God" : Not Simple As It Is

"We are God's princesses; men should treat us with love and respect. We should not lower our standard for them. The right man will come for us."

A statement I heard from a woman.

I think some ladies are getting it wrong. I once was and am still learning from it.

Here are my initial reaction whenever I hear those:
1. Are we actually behaving like a princess?
2. Are we the right person for the right person that we are praying for?





Those phrases were true. I have nothing against it, but we have to put it in the right perspective.

Being a princess of God comes with so much more. Princess like thinking without backing it up with character is an issue that we have to deal with.

Yes, we are the Father's princess but we must think, behave and develop a character like one.

Physically.

It must be seen on how you dress. Ladies should always dress well and decent. You can be sexy without being revealing. To be seen as someone simple yet beautiful is far better than sexy. Respect is something we gain not something we impose. That is equally true if we want men to respect us. Learn to dress properly!


Mind and Soul.

It must be our goal to be a beautiful woman with beautiful heart.

We need to have an open mind and a teachable heart for this matter. We should learn and value the wisdom that our parents and elders are providing us. We will learn a lot from them.

Read your bible, God's wisdom is superb!
You can also read books, listen to podcast and other stuff to widen your horizon. Never stop learning! Be a woman of substance!


Financially.

How do you manage your finances? Do you buy things just to please the people you don't like?

Financial management is something that we have to learn NOW.

There are so many websites that can help you on this, do your research. Our future spouse would want a partner who has discipline with money. Yes, he is the provider but you must be a good steward as well.

Practice keeping a simple lifestyle, without equating simplicity with poverty. Earn your own income, save, invest and then enjoy! Beautiful face and beautiful mind doesn't match if you have huge amount of unpaid credit card bill.


Relationship with People.

How do you treat the people around you? Regardless of their status in the society, weather they were someone you know or a total stranger, always treat them with kindness. Everyone around us are loved by God. We should see them as God sees them.

Women are expected to be sweet, caring and loving. I am aware that not all were born with these characters. The good thing is we can start practicing it now. Be more loving and kind with people.
Learn to serve people with sincerity because the time will come that we will serve our spouse and children selflessly.

"Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special." 1 Peter 3:4-6

In addition, I encourage you to join a community. I do enjoy my Victory Group. People there are very diverse; you will be able to see different angles of life with them. They played a big role on the Pauie that I am today. :)

Relationship with the King.

We are not a princess if we are not in relationship with the King.

"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, 

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." - Proverbs 31:30

It is easy to be shaken if we are not grounded on His love.
We can be easily blinded by our emotions once we fall in love with a finite man.
Have someone whom you love more. Remember : Jesus is our sweeter song! <3

Be rooted on your relationship with Jesus and everything else shall follow.
Because through this relationship, we learn what it means to really love, and we are enabled to pour that same kind of love into our romantic relationship, as well.

I believe that in this life time, we are all in the process of maturity.

We can't have all these character in an instant.

Learn from others. Learn from God Himself.
