Film Friday In the film The Life of Chuck, Chuck is told at school by one of his teachers that everyone has a world inside of themselves and it’s a world that will only expand as they grow up. It’ll be increasingly populated by people and places and memories and actions and desires and hopes and dreams and thoughts. His teacher is inspired by a line from Walt Whitman’s poem called Song of Myself – and the line goes like this – ‘I am large and I contain multitudes.’
We all carry these universes within us and the great thing I have found is that God is interested in all of these things. Everyone is unique so that our inner worlds are different and God can take our experiences, our personality, the mistakes we’ve made, the longings we have, the gifts that he’s given us, and even our weaknesses. God can take all of these things and make something of them. Psalm 139 assures us that God knows all about us, and that we are wonderful and complex. We can offer our worlds to God and see what he does with them, not just what we think of as the spiritual bits of our lives but every bit of our lives. Nothing is beyond the reach of God, he is intensely interested in every part of us.
