It only takes one to make a difference. To Save a Life is more than a movie. It is the difference you can make when you use your influence and time for others-whether in your family, neighborhood, campus, community or sorld. Some people are just dying to be heard and accepted. Be the person who takes the time to show people they have value. Listen. Reach out. Engage. Imagine if we took the time to show other people we care. To Save a Live dares-inspires-you to.
This movie talks about so many different issues from drugs and alcohol, to teen pregnancy and abortion, divorce, self harm, feeling alone and left out. This movie really inspires you to be aware of those around you and to reach out to them. We can all make a difference in the lives of others. Sometimes I think it is so easy, or I guess a lot of the time, to get wrapped up in our own lives and problems and forget those around us.
Do you notice the boy who is by himself and looks sad all the time or the girl who is trying to fit in but can never be good enough. We all have weaknesses, and things we struggle with. Maybe we should challenge ourselves and think of ways that we can maybe be of help to others. Maybe we could make a new friend today and reach out to someone who we haven't talked to in awhile.
I think the one thing that I learned from this movie is that God wants to use us, and sometimes we might not understand what He is doing or why things are happening the way they are. Life isn't perfect and we all have struggles, but if Christ is in your life you have someone to lean on. 1) It is also important to have others around you to help you and encourage you. 2) A mentor is also important to speak truth into your life and maybe they see things in a different light then you may have seen. 3) It is okay to be different. To stand out of the crowd. If you live for Jesus and care about others, people will notice. 4) We can all make a choice to impact someones life and invest in them. It just takes one step. One conversation. One smile or glance.
Listen (What is God wanting you to do)...Reach Out(Talk to someone)...Engage(Live out what you believe)
