HOW I LEARNED MORE ABOUT GIVING MY HEART FULLY TO CHRIST FROM THE MOVIE ENCHANTED

Have you seen this movie? (I LOVED it by the way) Basically the cartoon princess is thrown down the well by the wicked stepmother and she comes up in New York City as a live person. Well she is convinced of "true love's kiss" as the most powerful thing in the world, and she is convinced that her prince is coming for her. So she sings and dances all throughout the city, never letting anything convince her that her true love's kiss is not coming. She's solid and faithful in her hope for love. She lives all of her life as if love is real and she is secure in it. She's a fool in the world's eyes and she doesn't care. I want to live life with Christ like that. I want to be so convinced that he is there that I live every minute secure in his love like that. What keeps me from it? Fear that he won't come through. But he has shown me in every way that he DOES come through. So what am I waiting for? I want to make some changes toward living like this today. I mean, yes there will be seasons of grief, and I don't want to be fake. But I didn't see the princess as fake, I saw her more as convinced.
