No need to be perfect!
So I was walking down the street at my dad's coming back from the grocery store, and a tune from Anastasia popped into my head. Anastasia has for a long time, been one of my favorite kids movies.
Why wouldn't it be its got the lost princess of Russia who can't remember who she is trying to find her family. In the process she meets two men who help her to become a princess with mass amounts of practicing etiquette and reviewing her families history. In lame-man's terms: she had to be perfect.
Now I've heard a ton of people say that Christians are perfect, and are supposed to be perfect... which is false! Hello we're human, the only thing that separates us from the rest of the world is that we know and have accepted the Savior. Once you accept Jesus Christ, one of the main things of being a Christian is that you try and imitate Him! Not because we have to, but because.. well He died for us! Its out of love from the Ultimate Love.
I came to the conclusion that Anastasia would make a perfect example for trying to get my point a crossed because she forgot she was royalty. And we as a people have forgotten just who made us... THE KING! So if we're children of God, and He is the King... yup you guessed right! That means we are prince and princess of God. Now thats not a normal royalty. True we have been put on this earth to keep it, we are in charge of it.. we shouldn't take advantage of that. And that doesn't mean we have to learn to walk with a book on our heads.. but our royalty training is in the Book which should be in our heads.
Once we remember who we are, why then we can wear the crown God gives us! For the crown He gives us wont stop shining, it doesn't get broken, and it doesn't get lost. :D
I don't know how many times I've also heard "Yup I'm going to Hell." K, first off we all stumble! When we learn to waltz we don't become graceful right away! It takes mass amounts of tripping, stepping on feet, and trying and trying.. and even when we're good, we're never perfect! My charge to you is that DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!
Then not only do we get a crown, no no! We get to go to the Party to end all parties! We get to dance with the King of the world Himself! ((now guys you might just want to talk with Him and play pool.. thats totally fine! He wants to be in all your activities!))
So with that said, if any of you who reads this has questions please ask!
Your fellow princess!
