There is an element of Cinderella's story in everyone's life because at one point or another, we all encounter a season of suffering and waiting. Be it true love or a breakthrough that we are waiting for, the human heart wants to believe in a miracle that will set it free.

Christmas is the fulfillment of the heart's prayer of longing.

King Jesus was born in a manger among the animals in a stable, not because God was too poor to put His only Son in a five star palace, but because He wanted to show the world that He's willing to meet us where we are, in the midst of all the mess and brokenness we carry.

Just like Cinderella, God knows many people live among the ashes and ruins of their dreams and desires because the human condition is fractured. God sent His Son Jesus into this world, not to condemn people while they're already down and broken, but to rescue them from the darkness, isolation and prisons they are trapped in.

Christmas happens every time someone invites King Jesus to be born in the manger of their heart. That's when the miracle of hope, love, joy, and peace begins. And as the dance of life begins with King Jesus, the tattered rags of the orphan and vagrant soul begins to shed, and in its place flows a radiant and royal gown, picked out personally by the Father in Heaven.

From rags to riches, just like Cinderella, the heart that encounters Christmas finds its royal identity at last. May Christmas dawn in our heart every day.
