CeCe Winans

I WAS BLESSED to have people, especially women of God, in my life who often reminded me of this scripture and the fact that I was chosen, that I was royalty, and that I could stand and proclaim Gods praises in the world. Their constant teachings about how God viewed me and what He thought about me gave me the courage and the confidence to go through life expecting great things. I have known all my life that the favor of God was upon me, and that has made all the difference. It has shaped me into the woman I am today, and those teachings will continue to shape me into exactly what God wants me to bethe best!

Gods Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105 KJV). When we allow Gods Word to rule every area of our lives, it shines bright on every situation, conflict, and trial, and it gives us the insight we need to make the right decisions and choices through life. The sooner you start allowing Gods Word to be your compass, the better you will be. I am a witness that God will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV). If you put Him first in your life, He really will make everything better than alright.

It is my desire that every young lady who reads this book will learn that she is a princess chosen by God to be in His royal family and that Jesus Christ is her Friend and King. God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (see Philippians 4:19). You are fearfully and wonderfully made (see Psalm 139:14), and you are so precious in Gods sight. So stand strong, be of good courage (see Joshua 1:9), and know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (see Isaiah 54:17). I dont care who you are, where you come from, or how sad you might feel. You are more than a conqueror, you are beautiful inside and out, and the Lord God Almighty has a very bright future in store for you because you are His princess now and forever! Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4 NIV).

Yes, its true all you have to do is fall in love with Jesus by spending time with Him, praying, reading, and obeying His Word, and God will give you your hearts desire. Take it from me, if you want to live a happy, fulfilled, successful life, Princess, love the Lord God your King and Father with all your heart, soul, mind, and body.

How beautiful she is!

The princess is in the palace
How beautiful she is!

Psalm 45:13 TEV
