You are constantly bombarded by messages from the media and our culture that say you are not pretty enough, smart enough, thin enough, or talented enough -- but God sees you differently. God sees you as the beautiful, fabulous princess that you ARE -- His daughter and the apple of His eye. And unlike the world, He doesn't think you need more makeup, a better body, or a personal shopper to be perfect.
But don't take our word for it. We have compiled a list of Bible verses, websites, books, and CDs to help you learn to see yourself as a princess of the King of Kings. You know you dreamed about being a princess when you were a little girl. You'll be amazed at how it will change your life when you really begin to own the fact that you already ARE one.

Psalm 139:13-16 "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be."
