"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most.
That people are basically good. That honor, courage, and virtue mean everything. That power and money, money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. I want you to remember this, that love, true love never dies. You remember that boy...It doesn't matter if it is true or not. You see a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in." That's just a piece of the speech, just a piece.
Second Hand Lions is one of my favorite movies. It weaves a fantastic story. But this little speech, hit home today. These things are worth believing. I have to add the spiritual element in there, too though. God is good. He is not safe, but He is good. He has a plan for me. His plan is good. Honor, courage, and virtue mean everything because those are the characteristics of my good and unsafe God. His love will never die. Those things are worth believing.
Today, my heart needs to believe in this God who is bigger than I am. Today this is worth believing in.
