I'm pretty much sensitive at the moment due to the Who Am I? Seminar I'm sitting in this weekend. Another electrical jolt on "Who am I?" really. Another arena to explore and inviting God to heal. But this is not what I want to write about.
I just finished watching House M.D. season 4. It is the shortest season, only 16 episodes, but one of the most touching finale. I didn't get to watch the 3rd season's finale so I didn't know how emotionally triggering it was after Foreman left, Cameron resigned and Chase was fired by House. In season four's finale, Amber (Wilson's on-screen girlfriend) died of bus crash because she went out to fetch drunken House home. And House went way out to save Amber's life, went into a seizure after discovering that certain flu meds which Amber took right before the crash caused her definite death as her kidneys were destroyed at the accident. Her body was unable to naturally filter out the chemical in the flu meds.
What really touches me is how frail life is, and what we would do in order to preserve it when we suddenly find ourselves in the position where life is slipping away fast. We're no longer in control of our lives, that's when we would badly want to be in control of any other thing which we could. Young people nowadays, you and I, like routine so much because we are afraid of losing control of the few things which we think we have full knowledge of. Some people would avoid at all cost of not knowing certain facts, certain directions, even God's invitations to know ourselves deeper, just because we're afraid of going through the pain of knowing and losing control of the "wonderful life" we thought we have.
If we really think God is great, and why do we think we are not great? The formula given is "if God is great, then a great God can only create great beings. If we're created by God, and we acknowledge that God is great, then we must be great too." So if anyone who says we're not great, we're not good, then he must be telling us lies. The Scriptures taught us that the devil is the father of lies, so this must be the work the devil that we think we're not as great, or we're just some plain, boring beings.
Young people these days have this issue of not being great, and just being ok is enough, because it is safe. Great things are for others and not for ourselves. Time for us to move toward reclaiming the very fact that we can be great because the God who created us is great, and we are created to be His mirror image.
That's it. House M.D. is just a messed up imaginary images of everybody who is afraid of acknowledging and befriending themselves. That's why everybody likes House M.D. and this medical drama is one of the highest rating series in the States.
