Facing the jaints
|
This is the first time I see 'Facing the Gaints', and I would like to record something. It's about something happened on a coach and his football team. For six years, the coach haven't won a game, even in the game against the weakest team. Doubts came everywhere. Fathers whose son plays in this team all claimed for a new coach. He doubted himself for the first time. Misfortunes never came alone, something bad happened at his home, everything seems not at the right place. He felt hurt and despair. He once thought he could do better, but all just turned out to be a failure. He asked god that if lord could help him ,he really don't know what to do next.
Then someone showed up,telling him that "If lord open a door for you ,no one can close it,and if he close a door, no one can open it. You still have one door open". He asked the man if it is god sent him to tell this, and this man told him a story of two farmers. Both the farmers were desperately eager for rain and pray to god for it.,but one of them cleaned his fields at the same time to receive it. Obviously the latter may most probably harvest. The man told him "When god is ready,he will rain, and you must get your field ready". Then like some light threw on him,he knew what to do.
He gathered the team ,asking about the purpose of they playing football. Maybe they never think of this deeply, or they just don't like that much. No one knows the real purpose.He said "wining is not the biggest goal ,it's just a little one. Even we win,the champion will be forgotten. So far we just keep thinking how we could look good, how we could get the glory. We are not here to make money ,get glory and die. Bible says god put us here for him,to honor him. God said the ost important thing in the world is to love others just as yourself. Football is a tool that god honors himself" Someone asked if god cares only football. His answer was the idea I most approvel of."He cares more about your faith. If you takes your faith, god will cares about you. We should show our best to him". Maybe god it's his belief, but I'd rather say it is self-confidence that works. We believe ourselves, we overcome fear, we do our best, then we can do anything we want, because by this way we can develop our potential.
At last ,when thay historically won the world championship, he asked if there's something impossible when god is with you. The answer is nothing. I preter to change the word "god' instead of "self-confidence". When you believe yourself, nothing will be impossbile.
I'll keep reminding me "wipe away your fear, just do your best " alll the time. I think someday I will see this film once again.
