Re: Why do you love Narnia? Think about it!

"It's not Narnia you know..."
There seems to be this deep inner longing to go and sit in the wardrobe in the spare room, not to find Narnia, but to meet with our Savior in prayer and worship. We watch Aslan correct sternly and then turn right back to that golden mane, beautiful and terrible.
"Its a song that would break your heart."
There is nothing quite like tears when one finds the Joy of the Lord. More often than not i'll quote focus on the family with "Its a song that would break your heart, but not from sadness." There is nothing like Aslan getting his claws in you to tear away the rough dragon skin.
And last but not least, the fairy tale. Yes, its flawed, people make mistakes. The best example there is would be Lucy's jealousy. Lucy, who is always strong, always faithful, falls into the all to common trap of why can't i be like her, yet Aslan is right there, and she is sorry and really didn't ever want to hurt Susan. It's like some of you have said, its love in it's most true form.
With arms extended high I will always remember that when I needed it most Narnia was there. As a child, hiding away in my room as my parents fought, that Narnia was the only books in my room for a purpose. It sparked a curiosity to know the God that did this, to know His name in my own world. It made me who I am, and Whose I am.
