GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
Today, I am reminded over and over about the fact that life on earth is temporary. What you make out of this life is never permanent. Never keep hurts, pains, hate, grudges, judgment, anger towards anybody on this world, it will only add to negativity in your life.
Think of the great things, concentrate on the good things, positive things like love, peace, hope, trust, harmony, understanding. These add value in your life. Think of virtues in your life, alignment with people, building relationships with friends regardless of skin color, race, language, nationality, religion. My grave in the end will be the same size as yours. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: DUST. Then the spirit shall return unto God. Think of the beautiful things in this life, family, friends, those who love you, those who care for you, people you love, people you care about. Think of people who hate you and pray for them, there is nothing you can do when they hate you for who you are, what you are, how you are, why you are who you are. Think of people who cause you pain, pray for forgiveness that your pain is removed and revenge won't live in your heart. Pray for those who backbite, back stab you, make up stories about you, step on you just for them to get to their goals. Thing of people you need to pray for, pray for them and never curse them in your heart, you could never have love in your heart and hate at the same time. Retaliating evil for evil is not the way. Think of those people who oppress you. Love those who you have difficult time loving. Love those who hurt you. Love those who cause you pain. Love those who insult you. I cry even as I write this myself because it is easily said than done, but this is the TRUTH. Hard truth. If you can love without conditions, this is when you can say you have TRULY LOVED. The PERFECT LOVE, the way God can love you and me just as we are <3 A beautiful story on relationships, building them, keeping them, fixing them and maintaining them. I watched the movie with high hopes, knowing I will definitely reap a lot of learnings and notes. I will share my personal review without revealing and spoiling the story for all of you. I will leave the rest for you to watch.
This movie would encourage women; young, middle aged, old, kids, singles, married, thinking about marriage, to know the importance of relationships towards your faith, your family, your friends and your fellowships. This movie as well would encourage men too, to be the best of who they are meant to be and what they are called for. It starts off with the depiction of the what I consider as Ws that we ask that cause CONFLICT: 1. What's WRONG? 2. What's LACKING? 3. What's BROKEN? 4. Whose FAULT? These are questions that makes you question what were the underlying reasons why a person commits mistakes, what's the ripple effect if these issues were taken for granted and not addressed, ignored or worst, just tolerated until it is too late. It is story that shows how grace teaches people to forgive, how to be empathic to others, how to be sensitive to the needs of others and not just live in our own pretty lives not caring about the people around us. Of course, it reveals beautiful lessons of Rs: 1. REPENTANCE 2. REDEMPTION 3. RESTORATION 4. RENEWAL You have to see it to know why I came up with the 4Ws and 4Rs, it's a movie that would challenge you as well to check on your own relationships as to where you stand and if we are actually putting effort in strengthening our bonds with the people we love. Enjoy the movie! |
