AND SQUEEZED!!
A parable is a earthly story with a heavenly meaning. I hope you enjoy this passage.
Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far, far away where trees grew very tall, fruit of every color bloomed in abundance and flowers of every seed sprung up from every spot of earth lived four splendidly beautiful princesses. The kingdom was named Jewel Kingdom for you see, the King was their Father and He loved his daughters so much each of them was a precious jewel in His eyes.
They were all gifted with not just beauty but intelligence, good nature and unique talent.
Although the princesses had many suitors, each lived in her own tower to wait for her handpicked love…
Meanwhile, the kingdom was flocked with men. Suitable men from all around the world came to greet the radiant princesses by knocking at their tower doors.
And the princesses were impressed!
Handsome men, strong men, men with honors, men with medals, men with trophies and stamps of approval stood at their tower doors.
Men on horses, men in grand carriages, men on camels and men on stilts asked for the ladies’ hands in marriage.
Men wearing crowns, Men carrying swords and men in armor promised the chosen four the world.
Tall men, petite men, stocky men, bearded men, shaven men, dark men, fair men,
Funny men, shy men complimented the spectacular princesses.
Men bearing gifts,
Men wooing with lutes and electric guitars,
Men reciting verses propped on one knee pledged their love and adoration at the princesses’ tower doors.
And they all came and they all left without one acceptance to their generous proposals.
For when the royal daughters’ hearts skipped a beat their Father would say, “I have not chosen any of them, for it is not time.” And the princesses were obedient.
They bid the suitors’ farewell each saying, “Sorry, Father has not chosen you. Goodbye!”
And this happened every day with the same results. And the three princesses were growing tired of waiting.
Till one day another rambunctious group was allowed into the tower gates.
When the eldest princess looked down and saw a sailor with a fine physique she said with great enthusiasm, “I’m tired of waiting!”
“Remember what Father said sister. Now is not the time.” The fourth princess replied.
“Oh forget what Father said. I can choose my own love. Look, he is so strong. I bet he can protect me from any danger and his teeth are pearly white. See how he smiles up at me? His biceps are like two great cannon balls. See how he flexes them? I will always be safe in his arms.” The princess blushed deeply.
The first princess winked down at the muscular sailor, “He is perfect for me.”
She sang, “I chose him!” and ran down the spiral steps and into the brawny man’s big arms.
He hugged her fiercely
Suddenly she felt discomfort; she felt an awful hairy itch.
She opened her eyes.
She was squeezing a huge pus filled RAT!
The rat’s red beady eyes raced with crazy excitement. She screamed and tried to get away but the filthy rat bit her tongue. Olive and white polka bumps rose over her once rosy lips.
Father said angrily, “You are not worthy of my inheritance. You are impatient! My child you looked at his appearance and not his heart. And now you have something you cannot give back.”
( from page 28) The remaining princess stayed in her tower another year. “Although it would be nice to have a companion, I don’t need a suitor to fulfill me.” The princess thought
She loved to walk with her Father in the morning, and laugh with Him in the afternoons because there was always joy in her heart for him. He whispered his promises in her ear before she rested her head down to sleep at night.
(From page 32) Her Father’s wise voice spoke,
“This is the one daughter. I handpicked him before you were born. I gave him an assignment to tend the sheep until it was time to reveal his true gift, the gift to heal like you, my princess. He is my gift to you. Together you saved the baby.”
Unmistakably smitten, the princess said,
“Yes, this is the one you told me about. You said he would come at the right time and he did. And his talents match mine. He was right here all along?”
“Yes I was. As you walked with the King I walked with him as well.” The physician smiled down at her.
The couple embraced and although they felt like they just met they were not strangers."
The women in the story are no ordinary women they are royalty, princesses by birth, sisters. The Father is King, Ruler of all things, He has dominion and power and He sees and knows all things. Their Father is God Almighty and He loves these wonderfully unique women all the same. He doesn’t love one more than the other. He gives His daughters four towers to dwell in, four occupations, four gifts, four talents to nourish and perfect for the Kingdom while they wait for the one He chooses for them to marry.
But one by one three of His daughters give in to their natural desires.
His last and only remaining daughter sought His love day after day. She looked for her Father and found Him. She delighted in His presence and He never left her side. Not only that, she cared about people. When her sisters lost their reason to wait she reminded them. She was an encourager. Do we encourage our sisters in Christ even when they fall?
The Father’s gift is too big to place on a handsome face, too original to find in a book, too magnificent to find in earthly jewels. What He has for His daughters that love Him is a man to complement their talent, not to complete them (they should be already complete with God) but to enhance their capabilities. Together, as man and wife they are powerful, remarkable and life changing; to those that watch their relationship grow.
We look for our soul mate in scrubs, a three piece suit with all the makings of success already written on him, he may be in the group I named but he may also be in the other group we speedily skim past. What connects us is not the money we make nor the positions we hold but who we serve and whose blessing we fall under.
You never know, your husband might be the same person you work beside every day or the guy you rarely say “hello” to at church service. You don’t see it but there is a passion you both might share. Allow God to reveal this special person to you. How? Get intimate with your King. Read His word (the Holy Bible), dedicate your life to serving in His Kingdom. Reclaim the promise He has over your life. That promise is to Reign. Remember, He only sends the best gents to His girls."
