This is a movie based on a true story, about a child with cancer named Patrick Taylor (1995.9.23--2005.3.7), during his illness, he wrote some letters to God, and Stories of some of the people around him. I don't know why, but every time I see such a story about a child, it always moves me.


Taylor did not complain about God's injustice during his illness. The letters he wrote were not so much a letter as a prayer to God. His beautiful prayer touched many people, his mother, brother, grandmother, the doctor at the hospital, and of course the postman, who changed their lives and attitudes toward God because of Taylor's faith.


This child's faith in God is touching. In the midst of adversity, he also knows to care for others and forgive others, which is really as precious as gold. He had every "reason" to complain about God, but he didn't, his heart was so pure.


"There is a lot of suffering and misfortune in this world, but this is life. God loves his children, so he will give them the environment to go through. Maybe this process is pain, but, I believe, all the suffering and pain It's a blessing in disguise. Because a person who doesn't know what pain is, can't understand what happiness is. When misfortune and difficulties come, it's not God who doesn't care, but God knows everything.


God is God, He has the absolute ability to know what to do to be good for his children. Many people understand God as a superman. When a lot of harm happens, they blame God, why don't they help, unfortunately, God will not To do things according to human thinking, he has enough wisdom and ability to do well, because he is a perfect God." For


example, the life mentioned here, in fact, each of us will die, and everyone is destined to leave this place one day. world. It's just that you may live decades longer than Tyler, but can you really guarantee that you will be happier than Tyler for the decades you live?


What God says we should do is, no matter what the circumstances are, to truly understand to love others, to care about forgiving others, no matter what they do to you. Just like in the movie, the kid who laughed at Tyler, finally changed because Tyler forgave him and prayed for him (also by writing a letter), I believe this is God's way of doing things, don't hate, but With love, because hate makes people miserable and hurts each other, and love melts everything.


The human heart is always very stubborn. In fact, you can see that the reason why people suffer so much is that there are few natural disasters, and more are man-made disasters. We can look at the selfishness of the human heart, which is the mistrust and misunderstanding between people, the hurt of each other, the self-centeredness, always thinking that what you paid for is right, and when you think about it in this way, the crisis Just come.


This crisis has been lying in wait, waiting for it to explode one day.


But people who truly understand God's love will not, because God's love for them will make them very humble and willing to forgive and tolerate others. These are two completely different approaches and attitudes to the problem. This power comes from God, and from this it is seen that God is love. God is so amazing and faithful, I believe in him.


In Tyler's last letter to God, he wrote: "Dear God, I think I did it. You told me not to be afraid and I did it. I just want everyone to be able to believe in you."


PS : Suddenly I thought of a magazine I once read, and it was also about such a child, maybe it was really Taylor.

He suffered from a very rare disease. His hair fell out due to chemotherapy, but his family did not give up to save him. Although he was in the disease, he still remained optimistic and cared about the people around him. The doctors and nurses loved him very much, and many people did their best to help him, including many strangers who heard about it. He was transferred again and again, and when he was about to catch a flight, the airport staff, in order to catch up with the time, even modified the flight route for him. When the plane was about to take off, the accompanying nurse said: At that moment, I It feels like we're not taking "Taylor" to the hospital, but rather, we're taking him to heaven because there are so many loving people by his side.

There is love, it is so warm.
