TO SAVE A LIFE!
Everyone has problems, not everyone has faith!- That is the tagline of the movie To Save a Life! It is a good watch... The movie really really struck me.. especially the tagline.
A lot of times, I realize my approach has always been, "Mister God, I have a BIG problem" but yea.. after the movie, I realized that i should change it to "Mr. problem, I have a BIG GOD!"
Eh, no in the movie, it took some time for things to get solved.. the thing is.. it's not that God will raise his magic wand and my life will be problem free..
This is what I trust, know and take comfort in:
The reality:
God will hear my problem. He always does. His timing is perfect so he may take time or not take time to help me out.. but help me out He will! It gives me great strength that he will help me solve my problem, he will help me react better and think rationally. I know this seems like it's all in theory but not in practice..
It's been a tough month for me... different things going on at the same time, but my time with God, that one or two hours that I spend with him everyday makes all the difference! When I read my Bible in the morning, it is my guide, it helps me to remember who I am, and during the day when the going gets tough, I recall what I read and try to act accordingly. Also I belong to a community- the community of God and his people. In the movie, when the leading actor faced trouble, he had friends and advisors from the church. I have them too.. we are not perfect.. we are all flawed, but we serve flawless God.
My community will help me, by praying for me, encouraging me, admonishing me, teaching me and everyway they know how.
So yea life is not easy.. i'll have my share of troubles, heart ache and sorrow.. but I trust in my God to give me the grace to accept it and to carry me through it.. I have a faith which is not futile... My faith defines me. My faith helps me get through my problems. Everyone has problems, but not everyone has faith.
