Another Cinderella Story

As a young lady I've read this story many of times in almost all Young Women Christian books, that were are like Princesses waiting for our Prince (Jesus) to come and save us, right ladies? But it wasn’t until last year with the movie Maleficent that I saw a quote for the first time that really made me think of the whole, we are princesses’ things (you males count yourselves as princesses for this). The Quote reads this

Now this quote is pretty powerful if you think about it. The "villain", a person that as little kids we learn to fear and to hate, can be someone just like us, a princess. Only, unlike us, they felt like they will never be saved or they were “saved” but ended up getting hurt or they tried to do stuff their way because to them it’s the only way. Now if we Christian are the princesses, who still wait for Prince Charming (Jesus), then who are the villains who have yet to be saved or gave up on ever being saved? Well I personally believed that they are the non-believers in our lives, to them, we as Christians can’t do anything for ourselves because we always wait on Jesus or wait to be saved on by “a prince” that may not even be real and to us, we've been told to stay away from the apples that they may give out because they can kill us or lead us away from God. The two groups are soon doing the classic villain hero dance. The newest Cinderella movie that came out this year really hit home with me in the way that Cinderella was told to have courage and be kind.

Now once again growing up Christians, we’re told to have the courage to be different for our believes and to be kind to everyone, yet we get laughed at a lot for wanting to forgive those who wronged us beyond forgiveness at times, if there we have a struggle with something we don’t turn to what can try to make us happy, we turn to want we know can make us happy. And like Cinderella we can give people the chance to change but we aren’t always called to save some people, sometimes we’re called to be the person that plants the seed in their hearts for them to rethink their selves as what they are and go from the lost princesses/princes to the found bride of God. What do you guys think about that?
