Please note, Encanto is rated PG. At the end of Encanto, the Madrigals rebuild their home, this time with help from the town. While, as you can see from the photos above, the house is rebuilt in the same form, the family itself is not the same. Before the change, Isabela felt pressure to be perfect all the time. This was reflected in her clothing, the flowers she produced with her powers, and the man she allowed her family to arrange her engagement to. However, along the way her sister Mirabel helped her realize she could use her powers to create all different kinds of plant life. She began to experiment with them, making creations that weren't always perfect, yet beautiful none the less. Luisa is incredibly strong, but, as her sister Mirabel learns, worries she'll buckle under the pressure of her responsibilities. By the end of the film, Luisa has her powers back, but now has learned to take time for herself to relax and maintain her strength.
When coming into Faith, we maintain the gifts and strengths God has given us, yet we do not walk away unchanged. We see this through Paul's own journey in Acts. While he regained his sight, he was never the same, joining the early Christians he once persecuted in their mission to reveal God in Jesus Christ to the world. We might look the same after coming to Faith, yet there is something about us that never remains the same. This is what we see in Paul and the Madrigals, especially with Isabela and Luisa.
