Chune Sugihara: Saving 6,000 lives


Chiune Sugihara is a man who saved 6,000 lives during world war II; "Persona Non Grata" is a biographical film based on Sugihara courageous action.

 The movie was shot in Poland and was directed by Cellin Gulik, a Japanese - American director.

 According to Gulik, his goal for making the film wasn't to portray Sugihara as a larger-than-life figure. 
He wanted to show how ordinary people can do  extraordinary things.

 Gulik pointed out that 
"while Schindler saved the lives of people he knew, who worked in his own factory, Sugihara went above and beyond to rescue thousands he'd never seen".
I was going to post the first image above (of Sugihara) and do a little write up about him yesterday, but I got a little distracted; I finally settled to post it today but you won't believe how shocked I was to wake up to the story of Chiune Sugihara making the headlines; about the movie being made in his name. 

 I'm sure God wants me to share this to encourage someone to let God use him/her wherever they are at this moment, I just hope that whoever you're, I hope you be encouraged to do what God is asking of you.

 Goodluck!

Mary - Obedient Servant

"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said."  Luke 1:38 Gabriel's visit to Mary was unexpected and terrifying. But despite her fear and confusion, Mary didn't run from the situation. Instead, she listened with enough composure to understand the announcement. Then she asked a simple question, "How can this be?" Mary didn't question God's call on her life. She only asked for clarification. She wanted to understand the mechanics of how something that seemed in opposition to natural law could be accomplished. Once the angel answered that question, she yielded herself totally to God's plan. I can imagine that if an angel appeared to a teenage girl today with this shocking news - you're going to have a baby, although you are a virgin and unwed - there would be numerous questions or an exclamation of "No way!" I'm sure Mary realized the potential problems inherent in G...

Help! God is Punishing Me for My Poor Choices

Image
Let say you're a believing single christian, praying to God for a life partner. You meet someone you're attracted and interested in, who claims to be on the same faith level as you; deep within your spirit mind you can tell that something don't quite add up. You ignore every warning sign by the Holy Spirit!  You date and finally married this person and then realize the person was not truly who he/she claimed to be all along.  You find yourself in a miserable marriage that you consider a living hell; then you start believing that since you disobeyed the warnings of the spirit of God, it was all your fault. God is punishing you for making the wrong choice and the least you can do is to accept the circumstance the way it is.  The truth is God does not punish us for the poor choices we make.  II Peter3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises, as some understand slowness. Instead HE is patient with you, not wanting anyone to p...
