What does it mean to be a Princess?

*Note: This post is for girls. Guys, feel free to read it\. It's how a girl wants to be treated. Just make sure you don't start acting  like a princess. We want a Prince or a Knight. :)


What do you think of when you think of royalty? Maybe you picture a castle with lush gardens and gushing, overflowing fountains. Maybe you think of a Princess in a far away land with long hair cascading down her perfectly fitted gown. Maybe you think of a valiant prince, awaiting the moment that he can set out to find his destiny. I think of Christ's followers.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," you might be thinking, "Christ's followers are royalty? I think you need a reality check. I follow Jesus, but I am far beyond royalty."

If this is you, I have some awesome news that will make your day. You are Royal.

Think about it: God is the King of Kings, right? You are His child. What does that make you? It makes you a princess.

What does it mean to be a Princess? It means that you are of royal lineage. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. You should act like a Princess, as well.

What does it mean to be treated like a Princess? Well, it was hard for me to put this into words, so I did what any smart girl would do: I googled "What does it mean to be a princess". What I found impressed me. I was left speechless. I came across a blog, http://theslickguy.xanga.com/, that answered the question to a T in my mind. After a little more exploration, I found out that the author is Christian!

Here's a couple paragraphs from the article: (Read the whole thing at http://theslickguy.xanga.com/553109820/what-does-it-mean-to-be-treated-like-a-princess/)

If a man treats a woman like a lady or a princess what would it look like?




There would be the obvious expressions, such as opening doors, offering coats etc. Another example would be a man treating a woman as though she has something valuable to say therefore listening to her intently. If this woman is a princess then he should be hanging on to what she says.



however, there are also things that if a man does he is not treating her as a princess. Some of these things however women generally like. For example, if a man calls a girl up the night before or the day of in order to ask her out he is not treating her like a princess. Also if a man hugs, pokes or otherwise flirts with a woman he is not treating her as a princess. Some may disagree with me, but if you think about it, try going to a land where there is a princess, and hug, poke and otherwise flirt with her. See what happens. I guarantee you it won't be a pretty sight. Why? because it is not being respectful of her, doing so is bringing her down to his level and is no longer viewing her as a true princess. He is viewing her as someone who is a friend and not someone who is to be revered, or held up in a special light. If he is to hug poke or otherwise flirt with this princess he needs to be dating engaged or married to her, and as such he would then hold a place where he would be allowed to physically and emotionally connect with her.




I honestly believe that this definition is spot on. Do you ladies agree?



How is a Princess to act? Once again, I decided to Bing the answer :) Here's what I found. (From Chacha.com)

A princess should act confident, have good manners, and be charitable. A princess should also be gracious, polite and patient. She should be compassionate and thoughtful and smile a lot.

I agree with this, but only if you are to be a Princess of the world. A Godly Princess should not only be those things, but even more. Let me add on my own 2 cents here.

A princess should act confident, have good manners, and be charitable. A princess should also be gracious, polite and patient. She should be compassionate and thoughtful and smile a lot. A princess should be secure in who she is because she is strong in the Lord. She should shine with His light. She should be a person people long to be around. She should be a Proverbs 31 woman. A Princess should carry herself with grace and dignity, but she shouldn't be afraid to laugh at herself. A princess is never stuck up and is always looking for ways to help others. A princess should be dependent on God.

Let me end this blog post with infamous Proverbs 31 chapter. Remember: YOU are a Princess.


10 A wife of noble character who can find?


She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still night;

she provides food for her family

and portions for her female servants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;

her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,

and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff

and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;

she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,

where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate
