Dragon Warrior…
I watched Kung Fu panda and it sure did give me lots of laughter. I love watching cartoons because with the laughter comes heaven loads of wisdom.
I’ve seen disillusion in Po and Tai Lung when they first found out that there is nothing written in the secret scroll of great power a.k.a dragon warrior. A thought hit me, the effect of this discovery is different on Po and Tai Lung.
Being the dragon warrior is Tai Lung’s ultimate dream. He worked hard for it. He waited for it. He used it as a motivation. He built his world around it. He even hated his father and almost destroyed the whole community because of it. So just imagine how his world crumbled when he found out that there is really no secret.
Looking at it in a negative way (which what Tai Lung did) one would think ‘what now? where do i go from here? what happened to my dream?’ All these and more self-degrading questions will come out and would lead to self-destruction. These negative thoughts are blocking the real meaning of the secret. That is, everything is possible when you believe and there is really no need for any rocket science to succeed.
I suddenly thought of the dragon warrior scroll as one of my dreams in life. A dream that I’ve worked hard for. A dream on which I based my every decision on. A dream that keeps me going. Then, in the end I will find out that it is not what God want me to have. Will I welcome His plan wholeheartedly??? Will I obey Him???
Hopefully, this situation will not come. However, if ever it will, I will always hang on to His words…
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, plans not to harm you but to prosper you. Plans to give you hope and a future.
….and with this I will pray for guidance, humility and obedience… For I know that He knows what is best for me.
For this, may my great loving and faithful God be praised!!!!
