Is your heart filled with bitterness, anger and discontentment?

Giving up self

When all hopes were gone, God reminded Bruce that many things in life can be under mans control.  In fact, It is up to man to plan, but it is up to God to fulfill the plan. On the other hand, men do have the responsibility to get things done.  Men need Gods gracious help, and at the same time they also need to put into practice what they know are their duties.

The encouraging thing was that Bruce gradually realized that if a person would exercise his responsibility, and offer up his time and energy, his life would not become out of control. Take raising pet as an example, Bruce could have trained the dog to go to the proper placefor emptying his bowels and bladder, but his lack of patience and persistence ended the unfinished training in chaos.

Ventually, he decided not to use his super power anymore, but instead, he started bringing his dog outside for potty training.  From such trivial and mundane things,  the  audience can observe that once a person fulfills his duties, then the people, things and objects around him would become more orderly and move toward a more positive direction. 

Bruce finally realized  that to possess super power does not mean that one has possessed everything.  To be a human, the most important thing is to guard ones heart.

Guard your heart.

In the twenty-first lecture of Rev. Stephen Tongs  Bible Exposition on the Book of Hebrews, he mentioned that when the Arch Angel fell, it was falling upward. Likewise, when a person is not willing to settle for being human, but instead, desires to become like God, he is also falling.

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home(Jude 6).  Here we see how much God values our position more than our thoughts, consciousness, speech, behavior and habits.

Proverbs 4:23 says: Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

At the end of the movie, God was asking the main character: Do you still hope that your girl friends heart would turn around, to get back with you?

Bruces answer was sad but firm: No, I only hope that she would have a happy lifeif there is someone else that fits her better, who can bring more happiness to herI only want her to be happy. 

From the original Bruce who was dreaming to become the chief anchor man instead of just a news announcer, to having become one with super power playing God, the journey made him appreciate Gods comment about him:

 You possess a rare ability to make people happy, to bring laughter  to people around you. I know you real well, for I have made you with my own hands.

Yes, dear readers, is your marital status, parent-child relationship and inter-personal relationship out of control?  Do you feel a deep sense of helplessness in the chaotic situation you are in?
