A Snoodle's Tale

I am currently taking an Applied Biblical Studies class while in Pharmacy school and we had to do a report on several movies. Some of the movies we could choose from were Veggie Tales. If you have never watched any of these, I highly recommend to do so! Although some of the details are skewed by the artistic freedom and creativity of the writers, Veggie Tales takes biblical messages and stories and makes them fun, interactive, and easy to learn.

While working on my assignment, I ran across a clip called "A Snoodle's Tale" (located below) which is part of the complication "God Made You Special". At first, I honestly had no idea what this small clip was about, but it ended up being much more than I could have expected. 

As the small snoodle struggles with the burdens of the world and of others weighing him down, he retreats away from them into loneliness and darkness. However, a figure (God) confronts him, removes his heavy burdens and places them in the fire, while replacing them with an image of himself that is remarkable.

As people, we can relate to the snoodle. We become battered and stressed by the problems and harsh words of other people in this world. However, God can take our burdens away forever, and replace in our hearts an image of ourselves of how He views us.

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, and we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him." (1 John 3:1-6)
