“what if it turns out that I actually am a princess.” I love that idea! How we treat people matters. When we see each others divine identity and treat them accordingly we treat them better. We are all made in the image of God and have been commanded to love each other. I love in this movie that Sarah has a dilemma to treat the other girls differently when her circumstances change, but recognizes that is wrong and goes back to loving them as she did before.
Sara is a good example of what the pure love of Christ has the potential to look like. She is just good. So good. And it didn’t matter what kind of background you came from– she was going to love you with open arms. Sara is also a really good example of refinement even in the most unrefined of situations. She knew who she was and did not falter!
