Life is not a fairy tale.
Now that may come as a surprise to some of you. No Prince Charming on a white charger. No damsel in distress. And the reality is no matter what Disney tries to tell you.... no one always has a good hair day. Especially under water.
But I digress.
In fairy tales, there is always a beautiful princess in some sort of distress. She finds herself in harm's way. Or half dead. And she needs her prince to save her. He bounds into the room after battling the dragon/witch/evil something and kneels down before her bedside/glass coffin and gives her loves first kiss. She awakens and then they are happily married for who knows how long. She becomes more beautiful as the wife of a prince. No longer in rags. No longer shabby.
Princes and Princesses aren't much for dating.
His kiss is all the wooing she needs. After all, he's hot. And... let's face it...he's a prince. There just aren't that many princes to go around.
But don't women love to be wooed? We want someone to come and "fix" the heart that has been broken too many times. We want the perfect man to awaken us from the slumber into which our emotions have fallen because we're sure there is no such thing as perfect love. Our hearts ache for the affirmation that we are loved.
And He's there. Waiting. Unlike the princes in our fairy tales, this Prince never barges in without an invitation. That invitation has been written on our hearts. An invitation to be wooed away to a life of romance by the One who holds you as His most precious treasure.
Not a fairy tale, but a real romance of Someone who loves you more than He loved His own life. By Someone who one day wants to take you home to meet His Father.
Jesus is calling you to be the beautiful princess... to cultivate the beauty that is within you and to show that beauty to others. As a prince shows off his princess.
He is calling to bring you to a place of deep, intimate relationship with Him. To know Him in a way that develops the beauty within you. The relationship that can only grow with time spent together.
Jesus' salvation for His beloved is the beginning of a beautiful relationship of love, inspiration, dedication and honor. To give you the affirmation of His love.
Your Prince awaits. What is your response?
Song of Songs 2:10 "My Love spoke and said to me, 'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with Me.'"
