About God

I stayed up late last night watching a movie feature in QTV. It was an old movie and I don't even know the title. But one thing that caught my attention in the movie was the old man who portrayed God in one of our movie reviews back in College. Surprisingly, he played as both God and the Devil in last night's movie.

Anyway, let's talk about the movie.
It's about a guy, wedding singer, who wanted more than he has. He had a wife who's contented with what they had, but he wanted more. He wanted to be a star. And so, the Devil made a deal with him (he didn't know he was the Devil at first). Bobby Sheldon (the wedding singer) agreed to be a celebrity. What he didn't know, he become someone he isn't (aka Billy Wayne). He former life was taken away from him, including his own wife (who knew another Bobby Sheldon after "Billy Wayne" signed the contract of the Devil). But he was famous, rich, and people adored him. He was into fornication.

Then he returned to his wife (who didn't know him at all, aside from the fact that he's the famous "Billy Wayne"). Then he knew that she was pregnant with his child. He wanted his life back. He seeked help from God (the same old man who portrayed the Devil), and God told him to pray.

"Billy Wayne" thought he was hopeless, so he thought of killing himself. In the other side of the story, God met with the Devil. They were in Las Vegas (imagine that???). God played with the Devil, with Billy's life in the line. If God wins, He gets the boy back, including his previous life. But the Devil wins, he gets the boy, and all the other people in God's list. Well, as we all know, God always wins. (yey!!!)

Then, as God won, "Billy Wayne" returned to his old self as Bobby Sheldon. And they all lived happily every after.

I remembered my bestfriend's text message. It was a quote from Jim Carrey: "I think everybody should get RICH and FAMOUS and do everything they ever dreamed of...so they can see that it's NOT the answer."

Bobby learned his lesson. And from the movie, I should be greatful for what I already have. We may have all the riches in the universe. But what is wealth if we don't have our loved ones? As the quote says, money isn't the answer for everything. And in times of hardships, we should not forget about God. He is always there to help us. And most of all, let's not forget about God if we receive blessings. We owe it all to Him. Amen.
