Her people loved her but that was never enough for her.
She often loved teaching. She would teach others everything she knew about life. That was her gift.
This precious princess wasn't a perfect one of course.
She had her temper. She had inherited her temper through other noble kings and queens in the dynasty. If you are the princess in the palace, you should have your royal temper, right? At least that was what she was taught and she also strongly agreed in.
She was very stubborn too. Did you know that stubborn people don't listen to other people's advices much? Successful and fair leaders should always listen to the advices though. It is one of the keys that leads you to be a good princess.
This tender princess had lots of pride too..She was so proud that she wouldn't even breathe while she was talking.
Of course she had so many good sides too but in a moment of anger , stubbornness or a prideful speech, all the good stuff about her used to be swept away instantly. It is true that the negative image about a person can easily overshadow the positive image.
This lovely princess didn't actually have an intention to create a bad image about her but this was what she was actually doing. Somebody needed to talk to her about how to have a Godly image..Unfortunately nobody had the right tone of voice to talk to her...She had special ears..Did you know that special ears can hear only a Special Voice? She needed to hear her Heavenly Father's voice.
His Voice is strong, His Voice is comforting, His Voice is convincing...His Voice cares about His children. His Voice can talk to His children's hearts. Her heart needed to be ministered as well as her ears by her Heavenly Father.. She didn't know that yet. There is always a right time to know about what you need to know about.
One day she was walking in the garden of the palace...She saw a boy in the garden. He was not from the palace, he was just playing in the garden and thats how they met.
She asked him:" What are you doing here?" He explained her that he was there because he was invited to a birthday party and he wanted to play there with some other friends. He also said:" Oh I heard that there is gonna be lots of cake and icecream today at the party! Yay!"
She said :" Oh I want to come too and play with you all. May I ?"
He looked at her a little bit concerned about something, after a pause he said:" Sure but...your nose...Are you sure you can enjoy the cake and the fellowship with this nose??"
He voice was surprised when he was asking her this but she was more surprised than him,because of his question. The beautiful princess asked the boy:" What nose? What are you talking about??"
He continued:" Oh not only your nose but also your teeth and eyes...How can you join us under these conditions?" She had no idea what the boy was talking about...Why wouldn't she enjoy the party with other boys and girls, what was wrong with her nose,teeth and eyes?
While she was thinking the answers for those questions, he handed her a bright object that he was keeping in his bag. She looked at it. She had never seen something like that before. She asked him:" What is this?"
" It is called mirror, you have never seen a mirror before??",asked the boy.
"No, never..." she said.
After a moment of hesitation he said:" I can give it to you as a gift, please keep it. You hold it and look at your face carefully, this is how you use it."
She did as the boy told her. As soon as she looked at her face at the mirror, she was terrified and she started crying.. What she saw on the mirror was her lovely face...Her face had a giant nose, giant wide eyes and giant big sharp teeth.. She couldn't believe in what she had just seen on the mirror. This couldn't be true.
She was a very beautiful princess , this was how she was in her Heavenly Father's eyes. The Heavenly Father sees His children as complete. Even if His children have undesirable sides, Heavenly Father sees them through His loving Eyes. That is how He can have patience for His children when they are in the process of change..
When the beautiful princess was crying, her Heavenly Father was talking to her heart and spirit in a very tender voice...Her Heavenly Father explained her that ...her giant nose had grown up huge because of her pride, her eyes grew incredible big because of her stubbornness, and her teeth were so big sharp and dangerous because of her sudden anger. Her Father spoke to her spirit that there was nothing that He could not fix.. After crying enough she thanked the boy for letting her know the truth about her , she thanked him for the mirror. The boy helped her to wipe her tears and they became friends.
As she truely realised about her anger, stubbornness and pride, she was so willing to repent for her sins. As she repented her nose,eyes and teeth went back to the normal size.
She was so thankful for the mirror.
