♫ Flippin' Your Fins You Don't Get Too Far ♫

“If only I can make him understand. I just don’t see things the way he does.
I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things… could be bad”
~Ariel

This song has been stuck in my head for days so I figured God was trying to tell me something because I haven't seen this movie in a long time for me to even think of this song…

Particularly the part that says “I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but I know something’s starting right now” has been stuck in my head. This part resonates with  me because I can feel Jesus’ return drawing near. I can feel something really destructive in the midst for this world. Evil is alive and the time is drawing near.

I’m a mom people settle down…Disney songs get trapped in my mind sometimes.

But I really started to think about this song and realize…wow. Incredible symbolism.

Here is a girl whose part of a different world (Christians, Heaven) who is seriously attracted to this other world (humanity, earth). She longs for the human world just as we as humans hold onto life on earth. She was attracted to all the wonderful thing the human world had to offer and couldn't understand how a world that made such great stuff, could be so bad.

Non-believers are conflicted in the same way because they are blinded by the ruler of this world, Satan. He tricks them with technology, hollywood, media, politics, promises of "peace" etc. They see the earth for all its “gadgets and gizmos” and they refuse to see the truth of God’s word.

Now Ariel’s father knew better and knew that he didn’t want that world for her. What he had in store for her under the sea was more than she could ever imagine and hope for… She didn’t belong with the humans, because she wasn’t part of that world. We all know how the story ends but for my blog sake I'm just talking about the song...

Remember what Jesus said in John 18:36

“My kingdom is not of this world”

We as Christians are part of that kingdom in Heaven…that glorious kingdom and we have to remember that. Yes we may long for humanity but we have to put all that aside and live our lives according to our true home, our true King, to the true kingdom of which we are born from!

Like Ariel’s father, our Father in Heaven knows better and shows us in His might word, The Holy Bible, that we are to seek Him and Jesus and find Heaven; our true home; where  we will have true peace, happiness, and unimaginable bliss.

Stay seeking Heaven my brothers and sisters…keep your eyes watchful on Jesus and stay replenished in God’s word daily; it will keep your heart,  mind, body, and soul guided right towards home with Jesus and our Father. It’s our defense against the enemy! We need to put on God’s word and be a reflection of His son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let go of the temptation of the world! Give up the world and find Heaven!!!! God bless you all!
