Not Ideal, but Ordained (Kingdom Adventurer: Cinderella)

“It is a little snug, but it'll have to do.”

“It’s certainly not my idea to feed you first. It’s orders.”

(Cinderella, Disney’s Cinderella, 1950)

Our hope comes from God. May He fill you with joy and peace because of your trust in Him. May your hope grow stronger; overflowing, by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

Welcome back, Kingdom Adventurer! Be sure to check out the Season 3 | Once Upon a Kingdom (Introduction Part 2), where you’ll meet two NEW characters of the Animated Faith podcast– Bethany and Lumin. The silver-haired traveler with an enchanted technicolor paintbrush, that’s Bethany—and the shaggy white lion companion, and best friend, with deep blue eyes and a cross written upon his ear— that's Lumin. And together, you’ll travel along beside them throughout animated worlds to discover the Kingdom Moments that can animate faith within you. So today, let’s toon into a Kingdom Moment by stepping into Cinderella’s animated world…

• Kingdom Moment:

Now it's time for today's Kingdom Moment! A Kingdom Moment is a simple opportunity to make God's Kingdom visible right where you are. And today’s Kingdom Moment from Romans 15:13 says that God fills us with joy and peace as we trust Him, so that we overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, don’t try to fit into what is “ideal” if it’s not the right fit for you. Don’t let the orders, pressures, and expectations make you lose sight of your hopes and dreams. And don't keep that hope in believing, to yourself. Ask God to lead you to one person who needs encouragement, and create a Kingdom Moment they'll never forget. Hope is contagious when it's shared.
