Daughters, Arise!

I am looking forward to speaking at the Boundless Sisterhood’s ARISE Women’s Conference on Saturday, September 25th at LifeSpring Church in Durham, NC. Today I am sharing on the Boundless Sisterhood blog about what it means to be a daughter of the King. I hope you will join me by clicking here: Daughters, Arise!

This is the intro:

What comes to mind when you think of the word “daughter?”

What does it mean to be a daughter of the King? 

Let me ask it another way, “How has your experience as a daughter shaped how you view God as a Father?”

One of the most significant ways God has helped me discover what it means to be a daughter of the King has been through experiences with my daughter. One of the first lessons was when I brought her home and held her with my tears leaking onto her puffy cheeks. 

I cried because I desperately wanted to protect her and keep her safe. She felt so tiny and vulnerable in a big and scary world. 

God Protects His Daughters

That hunger to protect her gave me a glimpse of seeing God as a Father who protects his daughters. I was learning to see Him as my protector. 

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Psalm 32:7 NIV

He revealed more of His character and showed me His lavish love for me as I began my journey to heal from childhood sexual abuse.
