"I'm one with the force. The force is with me." says Chirrut Imwe, character in Rogue One the new Star War film.
Chirrut, who is blind, was in danger and he repeatedly said those words. The movie portrayed him as being vulnerable yet filled with hope and courage. Rogue One features the making of the iconic group known as "Rebellions" with the motto "We are built on hope".
This New York Post quotes "Rogue One is a 'Star Wars' movie for the thinking fan...
That's exactly me...a thinking fan. I can relate to the blind man and the Rebellions...the point of this 60 Second Laine.
I know that I'm physically not blind, yet like the blind man I am vulnerable and I decided to join forces with one greater than I and say something similar to Chiruut "I can't on my own but I can with Christ." After all Christ says "I myself am in you." I overflow with hope by the power of the force (the Holy Spirit; Romans 15:13).
"Trust the force" was the last words spoken by the mom of Jyn, the chosen one to help save the Rebel Alliance.
At this time I need to feel connected to Christmas. Can you relate? Something deeper and more meaningful than the commercialism of this Holiday Season. The sacred...the holy...a baby born with a epic story...a child chosen to change the worldview...a light to this dark world. He shines so bright that when you plug into Him...your new story begins. The Rogue One story is relatable... it's all about resistance, reality and revival.
Reflect today: how you resist...the reality of your situations...how you need a revival of the soul... Trust the force with your life.
I am a recycler. Anything God teaches me has never been wasted it has always been recycled for God's glory.
