Justin Bieber: Never Say Never gives me some encouragement to breakthrough of fear of rejections. Sometimes i just don't want to tell how awesome Jesus is, coz i don't want to be thought as a weirdo. Most of the time i don't care but in some cases, i still do care, which is the times when i feel God is so distant, I just can't feel His presence, as if i am going on my own here... and so i was not convicted on His truth and started to seek acceptance from others so then i don't want to speak of which they are not likely to favor.
I found Adjustment Bureau presenting an interesting issue in the movie, freewill vs destiny. The movie somehow tries to convey the message that man determines his own fate, nothing is fixed... It brings the small tiny point of the theology in there, really.
1. Surely God does know the best plan for each of us because He creates us, but He will not neglect our feelings about things. Falling in love with the wrong person? How do we even know she/he is wrong if we don't give it a try, unless it's obvious that he/she is drawing us away from God. He will let us try it out, until the day He says enough is enough.
2. The guy doesn't know the chairman, least likely that he likes him.
Christians love Jesus because He first loved us. That changes the whole perspective of CHAIRMAN'S PLAN vs HUMAN PLAN. We don't simply give up something for a plan that this stranger sets for us but if we know Him as a Father to us, our love for Him will soften our hearts to trust Him, who makes no mistake, unlike our earthly fathers.
But i like it how he was so desperate that he decided to find the chairman & convince him that he's decided whom he wants to be with, and he sacrificed everything for that, he went all the way for what he thought was true, and so the chairman granted his wish, only after he fought for it with everything he's got =] Sometimes God does do this to teach us to fight and not take things for granted. "Is it kinda a test?" You can say it's sort of it~ But we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose. [Rom 8:28] If you know Jesus, Emmanuel, you'll know this =)
