Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much

Watch the clip, I hope it continues to download for a long time to come.

I have been on a Snow White theme lately. When I was growing up this was my favorite movie and I never really knew why this movie, over Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. I have watched it again here lately and as an adult there is such purity in the old Disney movies that are missing from the new Disney animated movies.

In Snow White you can still see that as a movie industry and/or nation we still thought, and follow Christian beliefs more often than today and biblical thoughts were written into the plot.

I have gotten the chance to speak at a few Women’s retreats and one of the things I talk about is that we are Princesses and there IS a Prince that will ride in on a white horse to rescue us from our captivity.

Here are just a few of the things I have been thinking about from Snow White.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 ” He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds (a divinely implanted sense of purpose working through the ages), which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy.”

We recognize that there is MORE to us, and we have a hole in our hearts that is larger than the Grand Canyon, that only God fits into. We continually try to push cars, houses, clothes, people, things into this hole and it doesn’t even make a dent in fulfilling us. We just become ravenous for more and more, because nothing under the sun but God can satisfy our deepest longings.

The longing to be rescued by a Prince on a white horse is a TRUE story that is why movies with this theme touches us so. As women we know there is a Prince for us and we look to mortal men to fulfill us, all the while forgetting that they too need to be rescued from their own captivity. There is a King that has come and will come again for them as well. We are both a part of an epic story about a King coming for His bride.

I hope you read the next passage out-loud, it is so powerful.

Revelation 19:11-16

Now I saw heaven opened, and BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE, AND HE WHO SAT ON HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY CROWNS. HE HAD A NAME WRITTEN THAT NO ONE KNEW EXCEPT HIMSELF. HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD. AND THE ARMIES IN HEAVEN, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN, FOLLOWED HIM ON WHITE HORSES. ON HIS THIGH A NAME WRITTEN:

KING OF KING AND LORD OF LORDS

 There is a King coming riding in on a white horse with an army on white horses and HE is coming for US!!

We have eternity planted in our hearts, so we won’t forget, so we will continue to long for our Prince. The hard part is to live in this knowledge, feeling this longing and stop putting earthly things in an eternal desire.

WE ARE PRINCESSES AND WE HAVE A PRINCE THAT IS COMING FOR US ON A WHITE HORSE, AND WE WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Keep your eyes and heart turned toward heaven.

My only hope is in YOU LORD JESUS,

Princess Tanya
