I just finished watching Facing the Giants and practically bawled my eyes out from beginning to end. This is my favourite scene in the movie. Its the breakthrough scene. Where Coach Grant ties a blindfold around the eyes of the team's leader, Brock. "Cause I don't want you giving up at a certain point when you can go farther."

Sometimes we have burdens in life but God put that burden there for a reason. God put that situation there for a reason. And he wants to teach us to put on that blindfold - that blindfold where we STOP looking at the situation, where we STOP looking at that point where we think we can't go on any longer, where we STOP looking at our limitations - and we LOOK at God and His absolute greatness. As Brock had that blindfold on and trudged through the field, giving his best - he reached the end of the entire field. He thought that he couldn't do it, but once the blindfold was on and he couldn't see the point where he thought was his limit, he did it.

God's like that. God won't put a burden in our life that we can't handle. What we do is put on a blindfold, stop looking at our own limitations and allow God's strength to work through us. That others may see that it is not of our own self, but God and His power through us.

Brock was looked on as a leader to his team, and so we as Christians are supposed to be leaders to others in this world. Leaders that follow the actions of Jesus, and are humble enough to bend down on our knees and serve others by washing their feet. When we show the strength of God working through us in our lives, we set an example that others can actually see; We actually live out His words by loving others not just in our words but in actions and in truth. Leaders that live to serve.
