On my 17th birthday I got a tiara and nothing could have made me happier than walking around wearing a tiara for the day. Although I've never been a frilly type of girl, I always had that "I want to be somebody's princess" desire deep down in my heart. My tiara retired at the end of the day, but it was fun being a princess for the day.
Today something stood out to me and that was the verse about that the Lord crowns us with loving kindness. I was thinking about the aspects that I liked about my little princess crown and how that related to the Lord's loving kindness.
First of all, the crown made me sparkle. And I think that the Lord's loving kindness does that. It's so beautiful that it makes us sparkle.
Second I remembered that wearing the crown just made me feel so special. For one day I was the most important person in the world (okay.... not really.... but... I did feel special). And that's how it feels when God crowns us with loving kindness. It's like the only One that I am living for.... the One that means more to me than anything or anybody else just crowned me with His loving kindness. That's pretty special.
And last but not least, a crown is a symbol of worth. It's something that somebody incredibly special wears. And that's what the Lord's loving kindness is like. I don't understand what anybody would see in me that would be special, that would be worth dying for.... but the Lord does. And His loving kindness is an example of that. It's Him saying, "You mean so much to me that I'm going to crown you with loving kindness and blessings".
And those are my thoughts of tiara's and loving kindness. :)

Those are great thoughts on crowns and lovingkindness. God sees the worth that the world overlooks. It's a great thing to be picked up, cleaned up, and then put in a place of grace.
