Have you seen the Disney movie 'Tangled'? Its so cute. The last couple of days I've been cuddling on the couch with little girls who have tummy aches... letting babies crawl or run around and make mischief. Anyway, we watched Tangled again for the 6,764,201 time... It was my 10th time or so seeing it all the way through. Pardon me while I spiritualize a movie that was not meant to be spiritual. In the movie Rapunzel wants to leave her home in a tower to see lights in the sky & loves these amazing floating lanterns that are lit up on the same night every year for the missing princess. At the end of the movie Rapunzel is back in her tower & suddenly realizes that she is in bondage, that she is trapped by an evil force, that she is the missing princess. She confronts the evil force, Mother Gothel, and fights to go free. The prince rides in on the white horse climbs her hair to her rescue... that's kinda where the biblical match up ends.
Isn't it ironic how we can live life not recognizing our bondage? Living trapped in a ''tower'', dreaming of wider open spaces, but staying doing the daily ins and outs. Getting a taste of the outside of freedom only to come back and finally see that it is all a lie. Freedom comes with Christ. period. There is none apart from Him, only entrapment.
Leave the tower, the Prince of Peace is there to save you and show you the wide open world. This is done by whole heartedly seeking Him, asking for forgiveness of sin, to come into your heart and save you. <3
