Today I was thinking about life. I was thinking about the
ups and downs, the stages in life, the people we know, the ones that come and
going and the ones that come and staying (who by the way are very few).
These couple weeks ago, I’ve watched two awesome movies that
led me to reflect on some things. I’ve watched the "Machine Gun Preacher", which addresses the true story of a former drug dealer who receives
a calling that changes the whole story of his life. Once he was a former dealer
who became a rescuer for orphans in Sudan. Excellent movie!
It made me think of how many times I think I have "big
problems". It made me think that "small problems" are easier to
solve than what I have imagine. It made me stop and think about how is my walk.
Unfortunately, as a terrible sinner, It made me desire to walk another walk. A
walk that today is not mine. And I do not know if it will be in the future.
Then I woke up and saw that the movie was kind of an open eye and an
inspiration to someone's life. I can have it as a reference, but I do not want
to live that walk.
The other film, "The Joneses", tells the story of
a false perfect family. A family that is envied by others. What happens then is
that others always end up wanting to keep up appearances only because of this
false perfect family. This is another problem. When I start to greatly want the
life of another, or what the other has, it becomes an immense weight in my
life. Until you get a frustration moment at not being the other, or not to have
something that he / she has.
When I don’t walk my walk, my life turns into a twisted
reflection of myself. I can even walk with my neighbor for a while, or have someone
with me in my walk. But I cannot make it a constant thing. The only constant is that I must walk with
Jesus. I want to walk my walk and be extremely happy with it.
Each one of us has his/her walk and most importantly is for
you to walk your walk and not the other one.
Be content with your pleasing walk!
