Life Is A Fairytale

I know the title might throw you off; however, the truth of the matter is, the life of a Christian is indeed a fairytale. A fairytale is a story in which improbable events lead to a happy ending. Take for example the story of Cinderella who is a young girl who loses her parents and finds herself at the mercy of an evil stepmother and 2 stepsisters. Her days were spent cleaning for and taking abuse from the ones who she thought would love and support her. Eventually, Cinderella gets her improbable ending when she marries the prince also known as the man of her dreams. She knew of him, but they didn't have a relationship.The weapons that were being used against her were her family, her own self doubt, and her lack of available resources. When I point out the things that were against her, it is easier to see how she is just like any one of us. But, when I thought of life is a fairytale I thought of Joseph. The weapons against him included being taken from his parents, sold into slavery by his siblings, and placed in situation after situation that looked like the end would be defeat. His story had a happy ending as well because of a relationship with the one who orchestrated his dreams. I thought too of Moses leading the children of Israel. They were taken from their homeland, put into slavery, and ultimately cornered by Pharoah and his army on one side and the red sea on the other. Oh, but for their knight in shining armour who spoke through Moses in Exodus 14:13-14 KJV Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Each of my examples from Disney to the bible have one thing in common, the fairytale ending hinged on a relationship. Looking for your fairytale ending? Work on your relationship. Adayinthelife:-)
