It's amazing how and where God works!!
I watched bruce almighty again tonight(for the 2nd or 3rd time)and was again amazed at the themes of Love and Grace (Grayce) and the searching heart that were built into it!! in fact I was so amazed I went searching for the source of these themes; the person involved who influenced the movie in such a profound way.
I came across this interview with TOM SHADYAC, the director, and thought you would like to read it.

Who am I?
This week I was thinking about who I am and who I am not when it comes to my faith.
Who am I now that Christ is in me, and who was I or would I have been if Christ wasn’t in me.
I got to thinking about all the people I could have been, and all the things I could have been doing without Christ in my life and I came out the other side thanking god for who I am!!!
Imagine yourself without Christ: lies, profanity, abuse, hopeless, lost, searching, afraid, immorality, pride, slander ….I could go on.
Now think of how Christ has changed you life through his death, through taking your that old life to the ends of the earth and ditching it. LOVE FAITH HOPE.
Christ’s death didn’t just take away our sin, and he doesn’t stop forgiving the first time. Christ’s death, his resurrection and his ascendance changed life as we know it. We no longer have to worry about the future, we don’t have to pretend to be someone we’re not or do good works and hope that’s enough.
We are saved!! Christ has redeemed us from the curse of sin!! he has bought us back with his blood. and now we can look forward to all the blessings he has promised to his children.
As I was writing this I thought of a song that we used to sing in Sunday school and it says:
Who am I now that Christ is in me, and who was I or would I have been if Christ wasn’t in me.

BORN AGAIN, BORN TO WIN,
I’M A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD
BORN AGAIN, BORN TO WIN,
I’M A CHILD OF THE KING
I’M A NEW CREATION,
IVE BEEN WASHED IN HIS BLOOD
HAD A TRANSFORMATION
NOW I’M LIVING IN THE POWER OF GOD!!
