I was born to be a king

Royal baby named

Prince William and his wife, Catherine, have settled on a name for their newborn son: George Alexander Louis.

He will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge

The son of a King

The son of King Louis XVI of France. King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned. His young son, the prince, was taken by those who dethroned the king. They thought that inasmuch as the king’s son was heir to the throne, if they could destroy him morally, he would never realize the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him.

They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the lad to every filthy and vile thing that life could offer. They exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a slave to appetite. They used vile language around him constantly. They exposed him to lewd and lusting women. They exposed him to dishonor and distrust. He was surrounded 24 hours a day by everything that could drag the soul of a man as low as one could slip. For over six months he had this treatment but not once did the young lad buckle under pressure. Finally, after intensive temptation, they questioned him. Why had he not submitted himself to these things why had he not partaken? These things would provide pleasure, satisfy his lusts, and were desirable; they were all his.

The boy said, “I cannot do what you ask for I was born to be a king.”

We are all born to be kings in the kingdom of God. Our Father is a king, and just as the king’s son was exposed to every vile and perverted thing in this life, so you will be exposed to much of the filth and degradation of our generation.

The Savior, the King’s Son, the first and Only Begotten of the Father, the Redeemer, the great I Am, truly reflected the noble birthright that each of us has. He never deviated; his loyalty was total; his service was total and unimpaired in any way. He ministered to the weak, to the downtrodden, to the heavy-hearted, to the lame and the halt and the maimed and the blind and the leprous; he had compassion on the multitudes. His love and devotion, his actions, his total life were summed up by our Heavenly King in these words: “Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Would that God could say that of each of us as we fill our assignments in this great work, for truly we are the King’s sons and daughters.
