The end of the spear.
ByI watched the most incredible movie tonight called “The end of the spear”. It is the story of some missionaries in South America who were killed by some tribesmen earlier this century. I had read the book of their story, called “Through Gates of Splendour” some years ago but this movie carried on to the current day.
After all 5 men had been killed by these aggressive tribesmen their wives decided to continue to try to reach out to them in love. One woman, Rachel, lived with this tribe till she died of old age.
The son of one of the slain men ended up meeting with his dad’s murderer where he finally confessed to being the spear carrier. As he waited for the son to take his expected revenge, the son eventually said, “No one took my father’s life, he gave it”.
It really struck me how true this was. We all have a choice as to whether we will let things take our life or not. Maybe not a spear, but what about unforgiveness, jealousy, envy, unkindness, bravado. They will take your life.
Or are you willing to give your life to peace, to joy, to love, to God (as you find Him), to making a positive difference in a negative world??
If you can find the movie watch it, if you get to the end without being in tears you did better than me.
Remember there will never be a shortage of people who will try to put you down, lie about you and try and find fulfilment in their lives through belittling yours, so why join them??
Become a part of that wonderful powerful minority who celebrate life, love and success in themselves and in others.
