Jamie and I just finished watching an amazing documentary titled God Grew Tired of Us. It is a heart-wrenching film about the lost Christian boys of Sudan, the thousands of small boys fleeing the massacres of the Muslim government now becoming adults and moving to the United States to pursue a new life and new opportunities...even eventually understanding that life here is not all they expected.
The title stems from the comments of one of the boys who during the 15 year escape from Sudan asked himself if "God grew tired of us" and eventually Jesus would come back to make it all right. It's a commentary on redemption, hope and disappointment. If anything, it confirmed for me that the reality we create through our actions here on earth is a reflection of God's model love for us which we are to mirror towards each other...and lack of it is nothing short of hell on earth. Check out the trailer below:
