There is a magic making whole again that which was broken.

There is a magic transforming the wrecked into what it was before it was hurt.

This is not a magic of tricks and illusion. It is not a magic that pretends or puts up a shiny veneer. It is not a magic that pushes things to be something other than what they are.

It is, rather, a magic that honors what is real, what is true. It restores.

Sometimes this magic takes a long time to work.

Sometimes this magic takes effect right away.

It changes with each person. What is needed is what is done.

What is needed.

Not what is desired.

You must be willing to change. This magic will not force itself.

Yet as far as you are willing, this magic will nurture you to grow into what you truly are. It will refine you into what you were intended to be.

It sounds too good to be true. It sounds like a fairytale.

Yet this fairytale is real.

The King came to earth and sacrificed Himself so that His beloved can hold this magic and become worthy of the King.

The fairytale is true and this magic is yours.

All you have to do is reach out your hands and believe.
