The Dropbox

Hi Guys, this morning I could barely open my swollen shut eyes. Last night, I went to watch a movie called, “The Dropbox.” It’s a beautiful story of how a Korean pastor created a box attached to his orphange/home to save abandoned children. They are only showing this movie tonight and tomorrow evening so if you’re able, please go! Click here for more information. I’m still processing my thoughts and convictions from this movie and I know God is stirring my heart along with everyone else who has watched it. I’m sure I’ll share more about these thoughts if I can somehow articulate it into words. If you’re struggling with feelings of abandonment, can I share these verses with you? 

“Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” Psalm 27:10

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

At the end of the movie, Steven Curtis Chapman sang this song called, “Meant to be.” 

“Meant To Be”

Long before you drew your first breath
A dream was coming true

God wanted to give a gift to the world
So he wrapped it up in you

Every step that you’ve taken

Every move that you make

Is part of his plan

You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You’ve been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully,
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be

Long before you took your first fall
You stumbled to the ground
God started telling the story of you to the angles around
Every failure and victory
Everything inbetween
Its all in his hand

You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You’ve been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully,
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be (yeah)
Meant to be
You are
You are
You are meant to be
You are
You are
You are meant to be

For every breath that your taking
And every move that you make
It’s a meaningful life you’ve been given
Live it well

Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17
