HAPPY NEW YEAR Women of Valour!!!
I wrote this blog in 2019 but NEVER published it! I know why now because Daddy God wanted to show me something deeper. Please leave a commit and subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
I turned on the TV looking for a specific show. I came across this cartoon movie scene with Elsa Singing "Let It Go!!!
Do you have the picture in your mind?
I know and LOVE this scene: She has chosen to walk in the FREEDOM of who she is. She is NOT going to let anyone stop her at least that's what her words tell her and us. I was EXCITED for her and cheering her on. Aren't you?
But then I saw the scene tonight of her telling Anna she could NOT go back home with her.

This is the scene:
For those that did not watch the video and kept reading here is the synopsis
It hit me that she was still in a prison in her own mind. What her parents had planted in her mind was supposed to provide protection for her, Anna, and the rest of the kingdom. But what it placed inside of Elsa was fear. Specifically a fear of failing others. She was feeling rejection from a little girl. She had done something wrong and she was being punished for it from her perspective.
There are many ways rejection manifests itself. One of them is the fear of failure. Elsa was afraid of her
gift. She created a place of isolation and seclusion in her beautiful ice castle. So she could be alone and not hurt anyone.
She FINALLY had FREEDOM!!!
Is that freedom or is a fancier prison of her own making?
No matter how you dress up a prison it is still a prison.
Rejection manifests itself as FEAR and has us lock our true selves away from the world. We put on masks.
Elsa said go back Your life awaits. What about Elsa’s life?
She bought into a lie that she was free when actually she just traded one prison for another. What in the world just happened?
Talk about a paradigm shift and an AH HAH moment
She said she can’t escape the storm inside. She was right. Just
as we cannot escape the storm of rejection and abandonment we feel. BUT as believers in Jesus Christ there is HELP AND HOPE.
She went from the prison of her castle with her family to the prison of her ice castle of seclusion and isolation.
Both were prisons one made by her parents and the other made by her.
What the Holy Spirit just hit me with is the fact that I went from one prison with my mother to another one that I created in the military. I was in seclusion and my cell of choice was my home. I was in solitary confinement except for going out to go to work and shop.
WOW I have never seen it like that before. Talk about an AH HAH Moment.
I went back and watched the portion where the trolls 'healed' Anna but they removed her memories of magic. They planted a thought of fear within Elsa for the gift that she had. Her dad made her home a prison for the protection of her, Anna and the Kingdom. She was now the "problem child". She was made to feel like something was wrong with her because they did not understand her or her gift.
Rejection many times manifests during our childhood.
My thought was where was her Mom's voice. She was silent at least that is what we get from the movie.
Maybe you had a silent Mother who allowed someone else to always make the decisions concerning you.
or
Maybe you had the loud and controlling Mother who made all of the decisions.
Whichever way it falls you were affected as Elsa was by the decisions and the silence or even the loudness which led to your voice not being heard.
How many times have we moved from one prison to another?
For me it has been many times. Subscribe we will unpacking this topic of rejection this year.

REMEMBER GOD LOVES YOU MORE AND MORE THAN YOUR FINITE MIND CAN EVER COMPREHEND!!!
Prayer: I have made my plans or in the process. Holy Spirit, I am asking you to show me where rejection took a hold of me and walk with me through the process into the darkness so Your Light can expose and deliver me in this area.

Questions:
Did you see yourself in this post?
If yes, I challenge you to just sit quietly in a place for
2 minutes and ask God to speak to your heart and
show you HIS heart for you.
