Last week I watched a movie titled "The Great Debaters".
Maybe you have seen it. It had Denzel Washington in it and
it took place during the time of the civil rights movement.
Anyway, one of the quotes form the movie was said by
Forest Whittaker, he said (to his 14 year old son who was
attending the local Negro collage), "Son, we do what we have
to do,so we can do what we want to do." Does that speak to
anyone else like it did to me?
I will never forget that quote. It is so true. But I believe that
many people aren't doing what they have to do, they are just
doing what they want to do. How sad is that. I don't believe
that there lives will be blessed in any way by living like that.
How lazy have we gotten in a world that is out for the fun
without the work. No wonder people aren't satisfied with
their lives. Their is no fulfillment without accomplishment.
Their is no peace without doing what God wants you to do
in your life. You might think you are happy but you will not
have real joy without doing the thing you have to do (God's
thing) so we can do what we want to do (Also God's thing).
Anyway, just my 2 cents. Get out their and do want you
need to do.
Believe God,
Jamie
