What girl doesn't long to live a fairy tail, to be chosen and swept away by her prince charming? What girl isn't hoping for her happily ever after?
The gospel sounds a lot like a fairy tail to me......
Once
upon a time there was a Princess of the light,
a
daughter of a King,
a
bondservant of Christ
But
that isn’t how her story started.
She
was born into darkness.
Surrounded
by a world broken;
full
of disease, disaster and death.
A place
absent of joy, security and hope.
She
was bond by the wickedness of her heart,
the
desires of her flesh,
and
the pressure of the world.
The debt
that she owed overcame her.
Her
life lacked purpose and value and merit.
She
was dead in her transgressions,
Bent
toward disobedience, defiance and pain
Walking
around aimlessly, she was headed for the grave.
But
her maker didn’t create her in vain.
He
didn’t spend his time intricately creating her with a detailed hand,
for
her life to be void of meaning and worth.
She
was in need of a savior, a rescuer, a redeemer.
The
King of kings sent her knight-the Prince of Peace,
the
perfect sacrifice, his sinless son to pay her price.
He
was pierced for her rebellion, crushed for her sins.
He
was beaten so that she could be whole and whipped so that she may be healed.
He
died so that she may know life and know it to the full.
His
dying breath paid her debt and that’s all it took,
for darkness to become light and Satan to end his rule.
When
her eyes were opened and the captive was free,
she
shed her old ways and was a new creation was she.
A
chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.
She
was called out of darkness and into his light.
His marvelous,
wonderful, extravagant light.
She
became his delight, his honored Adopted.
Radiant,
holy and pure in his sight.
A
woman marked by favor and grace.
His
righteousness shown upon her face.
Her
honor, dignity and freedom restored.
A
confident daughter in the name of the Lord.
Eternity
was hers and forgiveness became her,
as
she claimed her inherited happily ever after.
My prayer is that we would walk confidently as daughters of the King. I pray that we would stop waiting on our fairy tail and start living it. Let's claim His promises and live lives transformed.
He bowed low, so that we may be lifted high - for such a time as this.
