A Disney Visual of Spiritual Warfare

We humans are fickle creatures, with a natural bent to following the lusts of the flesh and eyes, and the boastful pride of life. No human is above this bent. I am reminded of that anytime I watch Aladdin. Abu, Aladdin's pet monkey, is completely dazzled by jewels. He is overtaken with their beauty and charm, and forgets all else when in their presence. I am just like that. So many things captivate me and make me loose my senses. So much beauty and brightness in the world, dazzling, charming things. Yet all these dazzling, charming things eventually turn pale and lose their charm. I choose to serve God, who gives us a beauty not of this world, but a beauty that can never perish, spoil, nor fade. Once He has given us this beauty-this everlasting beauty-no one can take it from us.
