Part Of Your World

The Little Mermaid is willing to give up the things she loves the most for the love of a guy.  Look at today’s clip and then come back.

In a nutshell, Ariel is sick of her merworld.  She has everything she needs under the sea but she wants more.  She finds a guy and makes a bargain..her voice to become human.  In true Disney fashion, it all works out in the end.

But that isn’t real life.  The real issue here is dissatisfaction.  She wants what she can’t have.  Don’t we all?  And at what price?  Ariel has a gorgeous voice.  Yet she trades it for what she thinks she really wants.  It is tragic really.  What have you given up for something of lesser value?  Your hopes?  Your passion?  What?

The sad fact is, true love wouldn’t ask you to give up what you love most.  God wants you to use your skills and passion to make the world a better place.  He doesn’t want you to give up your dreams and sit on your hands in a pew.

What is your voice?  What makes you special?  How can you use that to make the world a better place?  When you find it, find me cause I will want to be part of your world.
