My Picture

Okay, I admit. I’m a sucker for tearjerkers. Give me a romantic film and it will win hands down from an action one. As a child, I would read and reread my tattered fairytale storybooks; no reward for guessing what my favourite part to those stories is – ...and they live happily ever after, what else? As a little girl, I was completely sold to the idea that there’s nothing more in life than to find my true love.

A few years ago, I came across an article in a local magazine which says something like this: "...but Hans Christian Andersen didn’t elaborate on the part and they live happily ever after together. Perhaps, Ms Damsel-in-distress and Prince Charming did live happily ever after, but not with each other?"

Oh sugars! I’m losing the point but what I’m trying to say is that man’s love will fail and many of us may be looking for love in the wrong places. But it is possible to find everlasting love and it’s through Jesus. For if kindness begets kindness, so does love. And if a picture really paints a thousand words, then this is my picture:
