The life of the Todd family is relaxed and serious. The whole family went to Denver for outdoor tourism, shuttled in the jungle to catch butterflies, and even endured the fear of letting the furry spider crawl in the palm of their hands; they also went to church to sing and worship and talk about bears. The story of the lion and the unicorn led the crowd to focus on the cross of Jesus Christ.
They could have lived this way to the fullest, until their 4-year-old son Colton developed appendicitis and had a fever of forty degrees, which broke their lives. The Todds realized the struggle and pain of losing their son. The husband pushed aside the chair angrily in the church and asked why God was so cruel. The wife cried and called the sisters in the church to pray for help... Fortunately, the storm After that, Colton woke up, and what is even more surprising is that he even claimed that he went to heaven during the rescue process and saw Jesus!
As he told more details about heaven, Pastor Todd went from half-belief to indistinguishable. His son's intoxicated expression and sincere attitude when communicating made him have to believe that his son was not lying. As a pastor, when he tried not only to think rationally, but to think more deeply about God’s will for their family, what made him even more puzzled was that among all those who doubted him, there was actually his church in his church. Mrs. Nancy and his favorite wife who listen to him every week.
Here I pause the movie. Pastor Todd faces a fork in his life: or give up the questioning of heaven, forget what his son said, and continue to live peacefully after rebuilding the relationship with the people around him. Or believe in the words of the Bible, follow the touch in your heart, and pray for God’s enlightenment. But he chose a small path. The Bible says, "You have to enter the narrow gate. That way is small, and few people find it." After that, his wife apologized to him and told him that she loved her family deeply but found that everything Can't do it, Mrs. Nancy also apologized for her harsh words to Todd at her son's grave, and finally relieved her son's death because of her belief in God's love.
It was another Sunday. He wrote on the speech: Heaven, only faith opens our eyes. God is love. On earth as it is on heaven. In the sky). To De saw heaven through his wife's loving, gentle and loving eyes, and finally realized that the people around him did not understand him because of their love. His obsession with God's words finally made him approach his wife.
I also thought of my own story. During my two years as a disciple, I did not conflict with my parents because of my belief. They worried that I would not find a job or concentrate on studying after believing in God. Every winter and summer vacation. I have to do ideological work with me when I go home. A few times I interrupted them impatiently, disgusted with their nagging and ignorance, turned away from their consterious and incomprehensive gazes and then left. Afterwards, I felt that I was too rash. Now I gradually understand that their incomprehension is also out of love for me. When something they can't understand prevents their expression of love, they become stubborn like children.
"God is love", when we understand the people around us with love, God is by our side. He will lead us through misunderstandings and conflicts and enter the softest part of the human heart, because there, all defenses become hugs , All doubts become trust.
