I love chick flicks. I also love action movies. Put them
together and it’s just a great time. That’s kind of how I felt about Thor 2,
and while my sisters always make fun of how much I try to take life lessons,
truths, and dreams from movies, I couldn’t help myself with this one. I watched
this movie a while ago, and of course was jealous of the life Natalie Portman
portrayed as she was loved by a good looking god who saves the world and is
madly in love with her. But then today as I reflected on my relationship with
God and the way He pursues me, and loves me, and I realized that I’m Natalie
Portman in this love story! I am unconditionally loved by not just a god, but
the God; the one and only true God. And not to go overboard with the movie
connections, but, together we get to fight against darkness to save the world!
I mean He is clearly the superhero, but He still uses me in the storyline, and it’s
pretty awesome!
I know this is all a little ridiculous, but if you really
think about it, it’s actually true. We are living in the greatest storyline
ever. It’s the greatest love story there ever was. Its action packed, featuring
the world’s greatest superhero. And at the end of the day it isn’t just some
movie that entertains us for an hour or two, it’s our life! Don’t waste anymore
of your life wishing you had a life portrayed in some movie you like. Embrace
the one you have. Bask in the love and love story you are in. Get an adrenaline
rush in the adventures God is taking you on. Come to the climaxes of the
continual battles we face in this spiritual warfare, and find yourself in awe
of the way God once again comes out of nowhere to save the day. Don’t live in
the blinding lie of believing you have a boring, mundane life. Open your eyes,
fill your heart with His love, and get pumped for the life you are in. Cause ever
since the day He choose you and made you His, you’ve been the lucky girl that
every girl secretly wishes they were. You’ve been beautifully pursued. You’ve
been madly loved. And now you get to go on all the crazy adventures with Him.
So put the chocolates and tissues down, and go live the action chick flick you’re
in.
