Why do Fairy Tales so delight us when we were young? As adults they seem to fabulous to be true, yet how many successful Hollywood movies have been based around some fairy tale concept or another. Something in us still likes to see these fairy tales played out.
Take the one about the damsel in distress. She is locked in a tower, or surrounded by wicked stepsisters, or is lost and alone, or has fallen into a deep sleep. Here comes the prince and with a kiss, with a sword, with his voice, with his love sets her free.
Love frees people, unshackles their chains, introduces them to a whole new world of possibilities.
Take the ugly duckling. He thought he was ugly until he discovered that he would become the graceful, beautiful swan. Believing this, he became one.
Hope and faith change one's perceptions about themselves, and transforms them into something beautiful.
How about the prince who was turned into a frog. His quest was to find someone to release him from his spell by kissing him.
Sometimes miracles can occur when we find someone who can look beyond appearances.
Fairy Tales are about the trans formative power of life, love, faith, acceptance, forgiveness, and truth. What Fairy Tales don't usually tell us is that the life that is changed is both the one who saves, trusts, loves, frees and the one that is loved, trusted, saved and freed.
Live out a Fairy Tale today.
