“You’re the magic” my stage mom whispered in my ear right before the curtain opened for my first show dancing Clara in 2006.
The other night, I got a teeny bit teary as I got to whisper the same thing to a 7 year old who felt some stage fright.
And amidst my personal tech rehearsal jitters, my heart smiled to treasure the moment.
It really is magical. Not in the pull-a-rabbit-out-of-a-hat illusion type of way but in the sense that we get to cultivate wonder. To help others see the world a little more whimsically.
Yet it’s also more than that. It’s a glimpse of eternity—a wonder that is real and anchored in the One who reveals and conceals. The deep magic as CS Lewis calls it.
All of us have been given a little of it to steward. May we use the gifts and tools to magnify the wonder that comes from the mystery of the gospel and miracle of grace.
