My spring semester of sophomore year has just started. It feels so good to be taking film classes again! Its like this old familiar, yet enchanting melody that just fills my spirit. I guess I'm in love with God's stories!
In one of my classes, New Media, my professor shared this really cool quote with us from the movie Chariots of Fire; "I believe that God made me for a purpose. But He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure."
This quote is so beautiful; my heart quickened after reading it.
As our professor said, some people think that you can only do the Lord's work by joining the missions field or going to seminary and becoming a pastor.
But is not our God so much bigger than that? So much more free and bold and beautiful?
Maybe the grace of God doesn't only come on the wings of those who have so boldly stepped out into the world declaring with gentle voices that the gospel is for the little ones.
Maybe it comes on the backs of the fragile little ones, too. And we're all little ones, even the pastors.
We ride in our chariots, whether they be made of fire, or stories or baseball, because we can not stand on our own. We are pulled by the fine horses of God's pPower, His Love, His Grace, His Mercy.
Our weak forms can only be pulled by such a powerful God. And maybe that's what attracts people to us, the impossible racing before them in the fiery passion of people for their God, but the brightest flames of all come from God's Passion for His people.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
