Job and Cinderella

LAVENDER BLUE, DILLY DILLY,

I think I just got Cinderella for the first time.

DO YOU LOVE ME, DILLY DILLY?
DO I LOVE YOU?

The story of a woman who endured horrible atrocities and maintained her virtue, maintained her hope, her peace, her love, her generosity, her servitude, her humility. In short had integrity, therefore had Christ.

A woman who won her ultimate reward.

A woman humiliated and down trodden.
Mistrusted and maligned.

As with Job whose ultimate reward is Jesus, whose redeemer lives-
so for the first time in my life I can see Prince Charming as God himself
- without vomit.

That is a revelation my friend, right there.

The whole point about Cinderella and Job is they don't  get bitter...

Who knew?
