who makes me happy? Who is guarding?
Initially, everything was fine. God created angels and they live happily in heaven. Later, God created human beings and put them in the world. Everyone and every angel thinks that they have God's attention and God's eternal love. They will always be happy and happy, and no suffering will come, because God is omnipotent.
I have to admit that this feeling of being guarded is very moving. Today, we often talk about the lack of a sense of security, which is actually this sense of being guarded. That's why so many dog-blood TV dramas can easily touch our hearts. Whether it's Bai Fumei or Diaosi, the warmth of each other can always involve our soft heart.
But the angels made a mistake and were cast down to the earth, they felt abandoned, they wanted to go home, they wanted to go back to heaven, and be guarded again by God, they thought that God had abandoned them because of the mistakes they had made.
And "mortal" Bethany, she once devoutly believed in God, but life abandoned her ruthlessly, she was abandoned by her husband, and she was also abandoned by the right to be a mother. Imagine you firmly believe in something, believing in its infinite power to give you all happiness in life, and therefore never expect that someday misfortune will come to your life. So when that moment comes, you are confused, as if this belief can no longer do anything, it doesn't even exist.
I think what the film wants to convey is a matter of faith and doubt.
The reason for belief is that he is worthy of trust, and he will give us a sense of security, as long as we do not do things that violate the rules, but misfortune still comes, and punishment still exists. Faith is in my heart, I carefully obey his every command, he can't see anything, let the disaster ravage my life; Faith is in my heart, I repent deeply, but he can't receive it, I long to go home, he doesn't. to be moved. So I have to wonder, does he really exist? Does he really care about me?
The answer given in the film is that God has his own arrangements.
In fact, God has not abandoned it. Adversity is the only way in life, and God has his own arrangements.
Don't easily doubt your beliefs, don't doubt yourself. There is a lyric called believing that certain stories of experience have their own meaning. When you are happy, you feel that you are right, God is by your side, and everything is beautiful. When you are sad, you start to wonder if there is no such thing as God, otherwise why would pain come to me? Why do I have to suffer?
In fact, no pain is prepared for you alone. For people of faith, the existence of God is not determined by the satisfaction of the present life. He is always there, and these are specially arranged for you.
So what about us?
Please believe in yourself, believe in life, at this moment you feel that there are too many thorns and it is difficult to walk, so you deny yourself, it is all my fault, it is all because of myself, it is all my fault, please smile, it is not you That's right, that's God's arrangement. He wants you to walk through the mountains and the sea under her watchful eyes, and see the scenery and rain heavily before he can give you what you want.
Who is god? God is not great. He is just as playful and angry as ordinary people. He is even an ordinary person.
Because you are your own God.
