I've added a new film to my Top Ten list: Slumdog Millionaire. It's not because the story is compelling (although it is), nor because the soundtrack is terrific (although it is). It's because there is sound theology in the film that is deeply encouraging. The film answers the question, "Are the details of our lives random, or will the day come when we see that they were part of a divine master plan?" All of us endure circumstances that are painful and disillusioning, and we wonder how they could possibly work together for our good. But the truth is, what happens to us is indeed "written", and for those who follow Jesus, the story always has a happy ending.
(Warning: The film is Rated R for violence, disturbing images and language.)
What has happened in your life that feels unscripted and purposeless now, but by faith you believe it will someday make perfect sense?
Right now i don't understand anything,in so much physical pain,unable to get treated by workman's comp,unable to work as a nurse,and have completely drained all my financial resources. I know this will all make sense one day,but now it does not.I am not even able to do my greatest passion right now,which is doing my missions work.
