The movie really had me thinking and realizing things the whole way through. I connected with this story in the sense that I am 23. I am in a very similar place in life and I also feel like God isn't calling me into the game.
Do any of you feel this way? There is a character in the movie who works in a sandwich shop and he feels like his friends are changing the world and he is simply sitting on the bench, not in the game. He is given some great advice. God has us where He wants us. Just because it doesn't feel important to us, doesn't mean it isn't important. Anytime we are doing God's work, it is the most important thing we could be doing. Even if it is just making sandwiches. We can be sharing God's light no matter what we do.
Doing God's work is not only important, it is also usually not easy. We are called to suffer for His name's sake. Sacrifice isn't really a sacrifice unless it hurts. All of God's most faithful men suffered. Some were stoned, some were beheaded, thrown in lions' dens, or burned at the stake. The movie pointed this out and challenges me to remember that through my trials. I honestly don't even deserve to go through character building trials. I deserve hell and nothing better, as a sinner. In Christ, I get to live.
We know that this time in our lives (18-30) is our time. Our prime. Our time to do great things! Do we ever stop to consider that this is not our time though? That our whole life is God's time. Our free time, work time, sleep time, family time, home time. It all belongs to Him. Use His time wisely. :)
