In Walt Disney's animation, Frozen, the two sisters, Elsa and Anna, are royalty but they live in a kingdom of isolation.
Many women can relate to a lifestyle of isolation. When we are hurt, scared, angry, confused, we cut ourselves off from the world, placing LOVE ON ICE! Isolation may seem like the only option, but this, in essence, places LIFE ON HOLD, and the effects can prove dangerous.
Because of no companionship growing up, Anna was desperate to be loved. She feared she would always be alone. So when a prince paid her attention on her first night out, she accepted his marriage proposal.
Elsa was gifted and had so much to offer the world. But, she concealed her gift for fear that her emotions would spiral out of control and she would hurt those she loved. So she opted to live a life all alone instead.
But women in Isolation were desperate and confused. Both women lived in FEAR. Fear locks us in. Fear shackles us. Fear confuses us. Fear robs us. Fear places LOVE ON ICE and LIFE ON HOLD.
If you are living a life of isolation, how do you free yourself? The answer is simple…LET IT GO!
When Elsa removed herself from the source of her fear, she had a chance to reflect on the fact that what she feared was small, but it took a huge portion out of her life. She remained hidden so long. She didn’t get to love as she should nor feel love in return. She never realized her potential. She never ignited her passion. She was not able to see her God-given path. She didn’t know who she was. Anna, too, lost her identity. She was willing to find her identity in a husband before she found it in herself.
Do you know who you are? Do you know what you are called to do? Is your heart open to love and to being loved? What fear is controlling you and your life?
Isolation and fear can have no place if we want to LIVE, if we want to LOVE, if we want to be FREE.
Come on, friend. LET IT GO.
