An interesting title for a blog, but fitting none the less. This is actually the title from an episode of House I watched last night. I do enjoy House very much and am surprised when I actually get something spiritual out of it. Call me crazy, but God reaches you in the most mysterious ways, of this I am sure.
This week as been a crazy, stressful and emotional week. Last night I was busy sewing pants for my boss for our Christmas party tomorrow night and I was very frustrated, because it was taking a while and I kept getting interrupted and all I wanted to do was sleep because work was so busy that day. I turned House on in the background for noise and was in and out of the episode for most of it. It made me semi angry because this episode focused on a Nun and House's character is very much "against God" which I don't get but whatever...
Anyway, there is one scene in the episode that truly touched me and brought me to tears. Dr. Chase is having a conversation with Sister Augustine while she thinks she is dying and he shares is favorite Bible verse and while it is "dumb-a-fied" For TV audiences, I had to find it for myself and just had to share.
Peter 1:6-9 "In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory and honor at the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Although you have not seen him, you love him, even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
It amazes me how God always finds a way to "wake me up" and see that He is here and all around me. These stresses and trials are all trivial and they test my faith and I will make God proud for Mother Theresa says "God will never give me anything I cannot handle, I just wish He didn't trust me so much."
"If God will bring you to it, God will bring you through it."
Another quote from the episode is where Dr. House is talking to Sister Augustine about how he doesn't believe in God and Sister Augustine says "in order for you to hate Him, you must believe He's there." so true, how could you "hate" an thing that "isn't there"? What a great thing to tell those who claim there is "No God" they have some waking up to do... that's for sure
Just something to think about and a wonderful way to end the work week for me! I'm off for a 4 day weekend now! Hope you all enjoy yours!
Oh and if you want to watch the episode, the title of it is my blog's title for today, it's Season 1 Episode 5, there Christmas episode!
God bless!
