Yes, the Sandra Bullock movie on Netflix. It’s intense, but interesting. 

As we watched, I couldn’t help but think about all the well-meaning people I’ve met who put blinders on themselves and their children, teaching them to fear all the “bad” out there in the world. 

Sure, there is certainly bad in the world. But when we live in FEAR, we live blind to the beauty of life all around us. We also…

…Limit our experience of life

…Train our children to live small

…Create an “us vs. them” reality

…Avoid the culture instead of influencing it

Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.” -Luke 18:42

Faith over fear. 

Let’s invite the God who stepped into His messy creation to give us eyes to see what He sees… and what He’s up to.
