Hope and Faith

The words "hope" and "faith" have been appearing a lot. It's almost like this is a prime time to have a lot of hope and faith. I went to watch a movie called "Legion" today. It was a very interesting movie. The message was pretty powerful.

CAUTION: If you're going to watch the movie please skip this part where I basically would ruin it for you by telling what the movie's about.

The movie begins with a woman talking about how she and her mom would talk about the prophecies; how there's going to be darkness in the world and fate of mankind will be decided. Her mom said that God was mad at his children because He was tired of all the "bullshit."

The woman talking is carrying a child who was supposed to change the fate of mankind; to save mankind. God lost faith in man and wanted to destroy mankind. He sent Angel Michael to make sure that the baby was not born because that would change the fate of mankind. Angel Michael still had faith and hope for mankind and wanted to convince God but Angel Gabriel wanted to please God.

Angel Michael comes to protect the baby before Angel Gabriel came to destroy him.

Both angels fought and Gabriel kills Michael.

When Gabriel caught up to the baby and was about to kill him, Michael comes down. Gabriel was surprised to see Michael because he had killed him. When he asked how Michael was able to come back, Michael said that it was because he helped God to have hope and faith again.

I loved the message and it was stirring a lot of feelings inside of me. I continue to be hopeful and faithful to the promise He has given. I also need to accept my limitations and know that I cannot handle everything all at once. I need to take one step at a time. I need to give myself space to heal. I wasn't sure what loving from a distance meant before but I think I'm starting to understand. Even though I need to stay away for awhile, I will always be there.

And to the one who has been so good to me during this time... God will provide. I can't give you what you want, but I'll always try to give you what you need. Thank you for being such a great friend to me. You deserve someone great; someone whose heart is full enough to reciprocate the same kind of love.
