Destiny

As I was studying about my Prince of Peace, God's Son, I thought about the legendary children's story about Cinderella and her Prince Charming. Then there was Snow White and the Prince who appeared to kiss and awaken her. 
     My Prince (Jesus) rescued me at a young age, and He awakens me each morning to a new day to praise Him for His love and protection until He returns to take me to a place where I will "live happily" ever-after.
     Thinking about Cinderella and Snow White, I wrote my own story; one about Destiny. It follows.

Destiny

Once upon a time there was a girl, name Destiny. She lived in a dark world. There was no light, only shadows in which to move around. 

 

She had been told there was a path leading to a bright new world. Some had found it and escaped to a sunshiny place. 

 

She dreamed about that world at night and, by day, sought and sought to find it. She took every path found but was unable to locate one that led to the bright new life she had been told about.

 

There was also a tyrant living in the land. He constantly told Destiny that this place was much better than the bright one she sought to find. 

 

He laughed and made fun of Destiny and often even bullied her, making her sit in ashes for hours at a time as punishment for seeking to escape. 

 

One day as Destiny sat weeping and crying in despair, a tiny light broke through the darkness.  

 

Her eyes blinked! She did not know what to think, but a new hope broke through to her heart. 

 

As a single tear fell down her cheek, she saw a hand reach out from a glowing light. The hand wiped her tear away. Then it reached out for her to take. 

 

When she placed her hand into its palm, she was instantly pulled into a bright new world; one filled with sunshine, rainbows, bright streets, riches and gold. She was no longer in a world of darkness or gloomy shadows.

 

Destiny had finally escaped. She had found the Light, the Prince, the King of Kings, and He took her into a new world and a new life. 

 

Her joy was filled that day. Her heart sang in every way, and Destiny knew she would live happily ever after. 

                                          …not The End… but The Beginning!

 

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
