I am a princess, my Father is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, there was not a king like Him, there isn’t one like Him and there will never be a king greater and powerful than He is.
He is the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega, He has no creator for He has created every big and small thing on heaven and earth, and His imagination goes beyond any human comprehension. He is the inspiration behind any great book ever written, the stage manager of the world’s unexpected miracles. There aren’t enough pages to describe who He is and not even the most talented writer would be able to cover all His works in thousand of books.
He created and gave me the privileges that come with being the daughter of the King of Kings, and only wanted one thing from me, obedience (come on me obedient!!!). So I was living in this great palace surrounded by beautiful waterfalls, I was happy, thought that I wouldn’t need anything else and things will always remain the same.
One day I looked down and saw things that my Father never showed me, those things looked good and alluring, they were calling for me. Somewhere deep inside I knew they were wrong but still it seemed like the right kind of wrong. So of course I disobeyed because it was never on my mind to obey, I took all the privileges for granted, crossing the limit was never a concern for me.
So I went down and had fun, crossed the limits set by my Father, I played with fire and got burned. I learned that for each action eventually I will have to pay, that was a good thing to learn, responsibility is one of the things that adolescents are taught on their way to maturity. What made me sad was the unworthiness of the things I was experiencing and had to pay for. How can a thing that looks so good on the outside can eventually leave you empty and unimportant?
Not much time has passed and I woke up in darkness bounded by chains I couldn’t break. My Father was so mad that He didn’t want to see me again, I have fallen from His grace, alone without my family...the princess became a pauper by her own will and all for nothing.
The King sentenced me to death...saying that the punishment for sin is death. No matter how much, that decision broke His heart He had to be fair. The heavens weren’t protecting me anymore...it all became so silent. Then my big Brother rose from His chair and looked down on me, His eyes got sad and full of tears and said: “She is so young and full of life, she learned this lesson as I am sure she will learn many others that might come, she is just learning how to live her life and I am sure she will teach many others the same. I know Your word can’t be withdrawn...what You said is accomplished. She has been punished enough by living the way she did. Let me be the One who feels Your wrath and disappointment, give Me the honor to break her chains.”
The King smiled and cried at the same time. “So it shall be!”
And so it happened as the King said, my Brother’s suffering was terrible, but His joy was greater when he freed me. He smiled and said: “Use your freedom much wiser this time, but never forget: each time you fall I will come to lift you up! Why?... Call me crazy but I love you so much that I can’t live a day without you. You were in my heart from the first day you were created... you have a lot of Me in you, just let it out and no star on earth and heaven will shine brighter than you.”
“Why don’t you take me home now,I miss everything...and my Father. I know now that there is no place like home. Please take me with you and let’s be a family like we used to.”
“That’s my greatest desire. But I can’t do it now...there are so many things that you have to do and learn here. I’ll be watching over you every hour, minute and second of your life. When you’ll think I am far away that’s when I am nearest to you.”
So this is me now, a pilgrim princess destined to teach others and learn from her mistakes, praying and hoping that when her Father decides to come and take her home she will be worthy to stay in His presence. Until I get to the destination there’s a JOURNEY that starts every day with a smile!
This is me for now…Who are you today????
