I was marvelling in the beauty of the snow the other day, looking out of the window, when my eyes focused on the playset. Tears filled my eyes. Leah had written this on the playset. Also, above her swing she had written, "Princess". I just stood there and praised the Lord. We have been purposefully weaving these sprititual truths in the girls' lives.
John 15:16 says, "...You did not choose me, but I chose you..." and John 15:19 "...As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world."
1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
The group, This Hope, sings a song called "There is a Reason". The chorus says, "There is a reason, you were created."
This is the truth we want our girls to base their lives on.....that they were created by our Heavenly Father for a reason and that they are chosen, holy, and belong to Him. To God be the Glory!
