I watched a movie the other day - "Black Balloon", really felt ill for the first half, wondering why we choose such bad movies, but picked up some, and I mean SOME (singular) highlights in the latter half. When posting a comment on facebook to see what my friends and acquaintenaces thought, all I got were positives. One person said it was the BEST movie they had ever seen!
We certainly view the world around us using different lenses, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it does make it difficult to tell a story, or paint a picture, when for one the pisture/story works and for another it is but an abstract and a quandry!
How do we get to the heart of it, how do we tell our story through our every day activity and works, that paints a positive picture and a picture of life and hope? That's my point of contemplation for today. Jesus is so real to me, He is such a powerful and significant driving force in my life and actions, He is all positive for me (doesn't mean life is easy, but pointed in right direction!), Lord give me the wisdom to let that story play out in Your way that tells the world around me that You are Awesome. Because I have nothing but my availability and willingness to be used.
