You know, I find it interesting that it is somewhat rare to come across someone who is a devote Christian. Now, I do not mean, they go to this church and read this Bible and believe in God. The Devil can do that. Guess what? He also believes in God. What I am talking about is someone who has an authentic relationship with God. One that is so indescribable that the only way to know how they feel is to follow in their footsteps and seek a relationship with God on your own. There are so many "good" people out there that have no idea what it means to be a Christian. Heck, many Christians do not understand what it really means to be a Christian. This is sad. I would LOVE to be in a world where finding a person who either does not believe in God or calls themselves a believer but does not have faith in God, is rare. That would be amazing.
The reason I bring any of this up is because of the movie "Letters to God". First of all, if you have not seen this movie. DO!! And bring a box of tissues with you. Seriously. This movie is inspired by a true story. An 8-year-old boy with cancer who reaches those in his neighborhood, school, and town to not only be the best people they can be but also to learn to seek God for those difficult questions that no one else can seem to answer. Amazing story. God calls us to have a child-like faith. This kid, while yet literally a child, has the faith that even a thousand men could not comprehend. The inspiring part of this story is this kid, Tyler, has cancer that is killing him, and he still shares what God is doing in his life and the love that God has for him regardless of how he feels that day. He knows without a shadow of a doubt that God is in control. Imagine living your life like this ALL the time. This kid did. He had more faith in his 8 tiny years, than I have had my whole life. That is so inspiring that I had to share it. Now, I want to be that 8-year-old who shares their faith with the world regardless. And there is no time like the present!
