Meeting a princess and the King of Kings

In the news yesterday, visiting Canada were the very popular, rich and royal couple Prince William and Princess Kate.  A little girl, Diamond Marshall, wanting to meet a real princess, got her wish with the help of Calgary's Children's Wish Foundation.  I'm proud she did get to meet a real princess. This precious little girl has been through so much, being just 6 years old and having lost her mother from cancer, the same type of abdominal cancer afflicting the body of this young soul now. You can see her cute smile and her bald head from the medical cancer treatments she's been receiving. My prayer is, "Lord, keep this little girl strong and help her fight the cancer invading her little body. Touch her and if it be your will, heal her body. Amen."

However, I was thinking, she got her wish to meet a real princess, but does she know she can meet the King of Kings? I would say with cancer, she just might not have too many more years or days, if God chooses not to heal her, in which a family member could introduce her to the ruler of Kings. I know she's just six, but if she or anyone has a desire to meet royalty, I'd say meeting the King of Kings is the greatest and most royal person you could meet.  I say Jesus is the King of all kings.  One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus is Lord. (see scripture reference below). Even princess Kate, Duchess of Cambridge,  will bow before Jesus, just as every other King, Queen, Prince and Princess, Duke and Duchess, all will bow before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The young, English newlywed couple appear to be very happy and most assuredly very nice and good people. It may be exciting and thrilling to meet William and Kate, but they have not one iota of clout with God to get you into heaven.

God bless all little children and big children. It's so easy to come to Jesus, just like you would speak to a good friend. He's always waiting and He is the only way to heaven and to gain right standing with God, the Father. Even little children are natural born sinners, though we don't want to think they are, but they are. All people are born into sin, being descendents of the first sinners, Adam and Eve. Jesus came to wash our sins away, which is what happens spiritually when you accept Him as your Lord and savior by inviting and asking Him into your heart.  He will.  Ask him to save you from the penalty your sins call for....He will. Ask Him to be your Lord. He will.  Your life will spiritually be changed in an instant, your name will be written in the Book of Life, and you will be in right standing before God. All of this because God loves you and sent His Son, Jesus, whom has redeemed you unto the Father. But you have to want it and ask in order to receive it. That's all. Jesus did all the suffering and dying so you could bypass all that nor will you have to suffer in hell or the Lake of Fire.  Just ask Him, from your mouth and mean it with your heart just like a would child, and God Almighty of heaven will not keep any good thing from you. He wants all, and that includes you, to have life with Him for all eternity, and to have Jesus so no soul would perish the spiritual death in hell and the Lake of Fire. It's humbling and also awesome knowing God wants you, the spiritual you, which will never die, to be in heaven. But remember, no sin can enter heaven. Jesus is your only answer to having your sins wiped away! Jesus is Lord and King and Savior and the Son of God. Now that's what I call royalty!

Scripture references: Philippians 2:10...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

      
Revelation 1:5  and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

2 Peter 3:9:10  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

God is Spirit. God is without limits and His plan is perfect. His ways are far above any that man and imagine. God manifests Himself in three forms- Holy Father, Holy Spirit and Jesus, the Lord and Savior. Praise God!



Until next time....keep traveling along that narrow road to Jesus.
