I caught The Santa Clause on television today, and as I watched the movie, I began to realize that just as in most things in life, the central theme is about believing and having faith. Tim Allen's character undergoes the transformation from someone who doubts the truth to someone who ardently believes. He tries to deny the truth, to hide behind excuses, to try and make up rational reasons for the things that are happening to him. His son, on the other hand, a believer from the beginning, never wavers in his beliefs, even at the risk of being laughed at by his classmates or punished by his mother and stepfather (who are non-believers). It's funny isn't it, how we can see God in everything if we look close enough?
I think that sometimes, I would rather believe in random chance than believe that God has a plan for me. I think part of that is that I just can't fathom the idea that God, the Supreme being, the Creator of the Universe would take an interest in little ol' me. I still haven't found my calling yet, and certainly not the purpose of my life yet. But I have an unshakeable faith that God values my life, has something in mind for me, and I will know it when it arrives.
