Dang. You can't watch a movie like that and not be moved. Not if God is always doing a work in you. And I believe He is doing a work in all of us. His word even says so...
"He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it."
And The Giver reminds you of that more than I can put into words.
It reminds me...
...that we don't want sameness in life.
...that life without love is empty.
...that life without choice is not just empty, it's more painful than taking the risk of making the wrong choices.
Because we all do.
We all choose wrong at times. We are just like Adam and Eve.
BUT...we when we choose right...it is all the sweeter. That is when we choose life. That is when we choose to give to others. That is when we choose to go beyond our selfishness and the victory is unbelievable. God wants us to go beyond our flesh. God gives us the victory to do so.
That is what "The Giver" reminded me of today. Of victory.
And man who doesn't want more reminders of that in life? I know I do. I know those victories lie around the corner throughout our days. I know that we can screw up one moment and then lay down ourselves the next. That moves me and inspires me to keep having God be faithful to complete the work He has started in me.
That reminds me. I have some sleeping boys to give some extra kisses to right now :)
