NUGGETS OF WISDOM FROM THE MOVIE: DIVERGENT... ANY PERSON WHO IS INDWELT AND FILLED BY GODS SPIRIT IS A DIVERGENT... FOR THE FRUIT OF SUCH A SPIRIT MAKES HIM BRAVE, SELFLESS, INTELLIGENT, HONEST, AND KIND. IN EFFECT, HE HAS THE NEEDED POWER, WISDOM, AND LOVE-- TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER-- IF HE WILL NOT BE AFRAID TO BE-- AND TO SHOW WHO HE IS. VERILY, THIS DIFFERENCE AND UNIQUENESS, WHICH IS HIS STRENGTH, ALSO MAKES HIM UNCONTROLLABLE BY THE WORLD, THE FLESH, AND SATAN. THEREFORE, HE BECOMES DANGEROUS TO SUCH A THREE-PRONGED ENEMY! INEVITABLY, A SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN CANNOT BE GREATER THAN HIS MASTER, WHO IS GOD HIMSELF! VERILY, IF CHRIST, THE GREATEST DIVERGENT, WAS HATED AND PERSECUTED DESPITE HIS KINDNESS, WISDOM, CANDOR, AND SELFLESSNESS TO STAND UP-- AND EVEN DIE FOR FOR THE NEEDY AND THE HELPLESS-- FOR SINFUL MEN THAT HE GREATLY LOVED, WHY SHOULD HIS SERVANTS BE EXEMPTED FROM SUCH A TREATMENT??? JOHN 3:16; 13:16. NEVERTHELESS, SUCH A FAITHFUL DISCIPLE SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID! SURELY, IF GOD HIMSELF IS WITHIN HIM-- AND IS FOR HIM, WHO CAN BE AGAINST HIM? YES, HE WILL NEVER BE ALONE IN THE FIGHT!!! EVENTUALLY, HE WILL BE VICTORIOUS! AND REST ASSURED, AS GODS PROMISE SAYS: I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU-- NOR FORSAKE YOU... LO, I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU, EVEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD... HEBREWS 13: 5; MATTHEW 28: 20. INDEED, WHEN GODS SPIRIT LIVES AND REIGNS IN OUR HEARTS, OUR FEARS CANNOT PARALYZE-- NOR SHUT US DOWN. INSTEAD, THEY ONLY SERVE TO WAKE US UP-- TO SEEK, CLAIM, UTILIZE, AND MAXIMIZE GODS VAST AND UNLIMITED RESOURCES-- AS WE ENGAGE OURSELVES-- EVEN IN CONCRETE, ORDINARY ACTS OF BRAVERY THAT WILL LEAD US TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF GODS IDEAL GOALS FOR US, DURING OUR TEMPORARY EXISTENCE HERE ON EARTH. “FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND.” – 2 TIMOTHY 1: 7.
