When you picture the perfect man for you, what is your prince like? Do you see a man devoted to God? A man of character- teachable, loyal, faithful, gentle, and kind? What kind of woman do you think this godly man desires to marry- a shallow woman or a woman full of charm who knows how to dress and capture other men's attention? Is this the one he imagines he will one day want to spend the rest of his life with- the mother of his heirs? No way!
To marry a prince, you must first become a princess. To marry into royalty, you must be appropriately prepared. Even Diana, the Princess of Wales, had to go through a period of 'waiting and preparing' before marrying Prince Charles. She had to learn how to properly act, dress, and speak so she would honor the royal family.
Is it any wonder that a heavenly princess must prepare inwardly for the calling to which she will give her life? As you set your attention on developing godly character, Christ will change you into the beautiful princess He created you to be.
