My 6-year-old daughter, AJ, would never admit it, but she's a little bit afraid of most of the Disney villains. Think Cruella de Ville, or Ursula the sea witch. I can't say I blame her.
Whenever we're watching a movie and one of these villains makes an appearance, AJ will scramble up onto the couch next to me and hide most of her face under my arm, so she's watching the movie with about half an eye. She doesn't want to stop watching, but she sure hates those villains!
The only thing that keeps her going is if I assure her over and over, "It has a happy ending. I promise, it has a happy ending."
Today my friend Deb E. reminded me that those words can keep us going, too, whenever we're afraid or hurting or in a bad place.
No matter what happens here, there is a happy ending.
Isaiah 51:11
"Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away."
