She is the Perfect combination of Princess and Warrior

"She is the perfect combination of princess and warrior"

This statement is so true for many of the amazing and inspiring women in my life. Something about this quote caught my attention, but I didn't know exactly why other than I liked the phrase, but now I am in love with it. Please take the time to read this, this is what God wants me to post for all of you, but I didn't write it, God used his words through my fingers to type this. Hope you enjoy, all you ladies this is for you!

Let's start with the word PRINCESS, according to a few definitions That stood out to me this is what a princess is: "the female ruler of a small state, actually, nominally, or originally subject to a king or emperor." God has put us all in control of our self, our actions, thoughts, and words that we speak. For everything we do, we must give an account to God, overall he is in charge. He gives us choices and responsibility, he didn't have to, he chose to. "Usually attractive girl or woman who is treated with special attention and kindness."  God treats us all this way, like we are the best looking and most beautiful, because he all created us with a unique sense of beauty, and that is the kind of attention he gives us, and that is the kind of attention he wants from us. He wants him to be our number, because we are his number one. In Proverbs 31:10b it says "She is more precious than rubies", also in proverbs 31:25-26 it says "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness". I know the chapter is about being a wife, but I have always found that chapter to be encouraging about any women, if we follow God we can be these things no matter what stage of life we are at.

Next let's look at WARRIOR: according to the dictionary on the internet these are the definitions that stood out to me, "brave or experienced fighter. a person who fights in battles and is known for having courage and skill. A person engaged in some struggle or conflict". We all have experience many struggles. Whether it is our flesh, or straight evil from the devil. We know we are in a battle, we may not feel like we are brave or courageous but we are. God has given us every tool we need to fight, including the armour of God discussed in Ephesians 6 :10-20. God also says "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7). We all know the devil has lots of power and it is hard or even seemingly impossible to defeat at times. We also know that God is the strongest, wisest, and most powerful of any living being and every created thing. He has all we need. When we are weak, he is strong. He fills in everything we lack and increases our strength with his. The devil better watch out because we are on the right side, God's side, and anything is possible with God!

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." We have all we need in him.
