So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. Jonah1.15 ESV
Have you ever watched a movie, or read a book or heard short story, that captured your soul and you realized that the reason you liked it so much was that it somehow reminded you of Jesus. Have you noticed that most of the best movies or stories produced always portray some theme about redemption or sacrificial love? Brenda and I recently watched the new Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino and could not help but notice how its main character, so unlike Jesus ends up being so much like Jesus. Many unlikely characters end up being so very much like Christ and all by some unselfish act where they offer themselves for the welfare of another. Its almost like God is telling us the same story over and over again, illustrated in the tales of a thousand of cultures. If we ever given the opportunity, may we not hesitate to add our brushstroke to this grand portrait of love. Try as they may, the devil and his angels don’t have a chance against the power of redeeming love. 2/12/2009 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
