Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a magical kingdom...
or so she thought.
She had two loving parents, two sisters and a brother. They did everything together and were very happy. This little girl looked up to her father and believed he was the greatest in all the land.
Then one day an evil influence penetrated this magical kingdom and it became divided.
"And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." Mark 3:25
One day this little girl and her mother came home to a half-empty house and a note. The little girl was confused as she watched her mother cry, but her mother turned to her little girl and said, 'It will be alright...God is good."
This little girl grew and her confusion turned into disappointment and anger and she soon found herself way outside of the walls of her once magical kingdom. She had fallen and didn't know how to get back up again. Her rebellious decisions had put her in a place of no return...or so she thought.
But God sent this young lady a friend who introduced her to the Heavenly Father.
This little girl who had become a broken young woman prayed. She was sorry for all her sins and for all she had done, and knew in her heart that she didn't want to live this way anymore.
"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." Psalm 34:18
Salvation had come to this young woman as she let go of her past and turned to Christ.
Her Father, her Saviour, her King.
"I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King." Isaiah 43:15
"Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah Psalm 24:10
And now I have a new kingdom-
"For our conversation is in heaven; from hence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ." Philippians 3:20
My earthly father let me down....
my Heavenly Father, My King, will never let me down...
But that's just me!
Joy is the flag which is flown from the castle of the heart when the King is in residence there.
