UNTangled


Man, its been a blog week already and its only Tuesday. Well, I already watched the movie Tangled twice. IT IS SO GOOD! And its even better when you look at it from a Christian perspective. Josh brought this to my attention about the most important song in the movie, the song above. The song talks about living in a fog, not really seeing the light. And the part of the song says "And its warm and real and bright and the world has somehow shifted. All at once, everything is different now that I see you, Now that I see you." So much truth. Life before God is not necessarily a life of darkness but its definitely not filled with light. The song can be viewed as the instant where a person's heart is changed and they accept Christ into their life; the moment they start seeing clearly. Once they see him.

But it doesn't end here. If you keep watching, the end scene mesmerized me. The princess, Rapunzel, had been stolen at infancy by a wicked and selfish woman who took advantage of the girl. In the last couple of minutes the girl returns, at the age of eighteen, to her parents, the king and queen. After being reunited it said "The kingdom rejoiced for the lost princess had returned." We do this when someone accepts Christ. We rejoice for our body has grown and our sister or brother is no longer lost. It also says "At last Rapunzel was home and she finally had a REAL family. She was a princess worth waiting for; beloved by all she led the kingdom with the grace and wisdom her parents did before her." I just loved what it said looking at it from a Godly perspective. She found a real family; we find real family in the body(family) of Christ. She was WORTH waiting for; God thinks all of us are worth it. She was beloved. We are His Beloved; He is ours. Then it goes even further by saying how she led her kingdom.... We are suppose to lead the body with the grace and wisdom of our father. Well, the grace and wisdom that it is possible for a person to show.

Disney just makes my heart so happy.
God makes my heart even happier when He uses small things like this to teach me.
Whoever said fairy tales aren't true... Well, I think you are a liar.
With Christ fairy tales were made possible.
I am living in mine.
