Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl who was always told she was a princess by the king and queen of the castle. At a very young age she found out about her Creator and how much He loved her. She then decided to give her life to this Creator of Life. Their relationship was very strong and His light shown brightly through her for all to see. The Creator gave her a part of the Spirit, this gave her a connection directly to Him. The little princess talked to the King of Kings every day because she loved Him and He loved her.
Over time, she grew older and the little princess stopped believing she was a princess at all. She doubted the Creator’s love for her and started losing belief in her own worth and beauty. The girl moved away to create her own castle to live in, even if it was temporary, but she did not bring all of her faith in the Creator with her. They still talked but the girl became distant, at this the Creator was saddened. He would call to the girl and He knew she heard, but she would not listen or would respond with anger.
One day the Spirit in the girl became so saddened by her inability to listen for, or closely to, her Creator that she fell into a deep depression. This depression lasted for years, she was hopeless, lost and became angry with her Creator. “Why?” Was always the question as she sat alone in the dark crying. There was nothing left and she felt no love. Boys would not even look at her for long, if even at all (She did not realize these boys were just toads disguised as princes). There was a hellion, roaming the terra, who was after her soul. She knew he was there but had no comprehension of his power. He was a thief, stealing the thoughts of her Creator and making her drown in self-pity. “Save me!” She would cry but there was no answer. She did not understand her Creators plan, but she was about to feel His divine intervention.
Finally, her castle came crumbling down and she could not withstand the pressure of the disconnect to her King. She was sent back to the castle her guardians had built. She was very reluctant, solely relying on her own independent nature. Even though she was back in the safety of her guardian’s castle inside she was still dealing with the same problems, and the hellion that was taunting her.
Her guardians took her to visit her Creator again. She wanted to be in His presence, it had been too long since she bothered to listen for his voice. After the first visit, there was a glimmer of hope reawakened ever so slightly in the girls soul. She did not know why but weeks later she re-entered the household of the Creator again; she was washed over and remade, into something new and wonderful. Her light was bright like it was when she was young.
Day after day she grew and talked more and more to her Creator and their relationship grew beyond anything she could have ever imagined it to be. She felt His love wrapped around her again and that burning fire inside of her grew and grew and never stopped. She fell in love with her Creator, He was glorious and unmatched by any spirit she has or ever will meet. The Creator was well pleased with the girl as she now was growing into a woman. She was growing to become a queen under the King of kings with a heart after His. Her heart was without void. It was filled with the Spirit the Creator gave her when she was young. The little princess is now a queen and fighting battles with the impenetrable armor she was given by the King, against the hellion who so feverishly tries to keep the Creator from His creation. The task is not easy but she will prevail. She fights in His name and none can withstand it.
When the battle is done, and the war is won; what a glorious day that will be. The day when she finally meets her Creator face to face and will dwell in His presence for the rest of eternity.
