Fairy Tales

In "Captivating", John and Stacie Eldridge say that every little girl has dreams of being the beautiful princess.  Just looking at how Disney has been able to build an empire on fairy tales, is evidence of this.

We do dream of the epic romance with the happily ever after ending.  Of all the Disney princesses, I probably can identify with Belle, the kind-hearted bookworm, the most; but, it is actually Beast, not Beauty, that I truly can relate to.  Not that I am particularly beastly in appearance; but I often feel that the world does not see the inner beauty, which is a reflection of my Creator.

It can be disheartening and discouraging; but, it is important to look to the truths in Scripture, to pursue the characteristics that are precious in God's sight, and to remember what is of true worth.
