Rodney Copperbottom.

Grace to you,

I took my young son to the movies last night. We saw Robots. The message of that Movie was , See a need, Meet a need.

I won't ruin the movie. Just to say the hero , Rodney Copperbottom had a hero. Big Weld and big Weld's motto was See a need, meet a need. All his life Rodney a rather ordinary fellow made up of some spare parts. Set out to meet a need. Even in times of trouble he never gave up. Of course in the end Good won out over evil and Rodney Saved the day. His nemesis was an evil Corporate raider who had twisted Big Welds vison of helping out the ordinary man. This nemesis twisted the message and took away all the options the common folk had. He wanted a shiny new world with only upgrades. Underneath though he was as shallow as his forefather. A powerless chained up old fellow. Rusty and made up of spare parts. His image didn't fit his heart.

Rodney's heart was huge and his vision limitless.

This morning I heard a message at Church about seeing a need and meeting a need. My pastor was preaching this and has been for some time.

(Side note; Yes, I have a Pastor. I am grateful to God for this. If you do not currently have one? Pray to God that He lead you to one that can lead and feed you in the Word. Moses had Jethro, Lot had Abraham, David had Nathan. You see these men had a lineage unlike the nemesis in the story above. Some of these men chose to listen to wisdom. Others like Lot did not? )

It began to become clear to me that this secular movie had a message as well. The Lord say's that all of Creation speaks of His Glory.

I want you to know that my signature say's this;

I reach Him, He changes me. I Love them like He Loved me.

Scripture say's this;

Wow..What a theme God has given us all today.

I haven't seen the movie, but earlier I read a post asking, "What is a friend?" I didn't have time then to write, but in my mind I thought, " A friend is one who sees a need in your life and strives to meet that need, just as Christ met the need of my heart."

Amen brother!

wow! i thought that stuff that you said about finding a need and meeting a need and how God has met our need was great! thoughi didn't understand some of it because reading small print and lots of words doesn't really work for me, but from what i saw i was really impressed.

my church has recently discoverd why people have been leaving and it's because they aren't doing what you were talking about.

i LOVED it! we should all try harder to meet others needs (by the way could some one do that for me cause i'm kinda new here )

I took my kids to see Robots last Friday. It was a great movie, and your review was right on. I thought it was curious the way the upgrade was only a shell. The ads for the upgrades reminded me of plastic surgery, and gym commercials. Life is like that people hide behind their clothes, body types, careers, and other superficial things. Fortunately, God sees the heart, and what is hidden will be exposed.

Just some Christian themes I saw.

God Bless,

Robert

Just like real life, people will cover themselves up with glitzy, glamorous things and surgeries and such to cover up who they really are.

What we may only see on the surface can be totally different of what God sees in their hearts.

Great post!

My boys just saw the movie too, but I needed to hear your note. Sometimes I concentrate on my sins or past (my old parts) and get so focused on needing to upgrade that I forget I am forgiven and I need to go out and be a friend meet needs and that God has accepted my rusty parts.

Satan tries to convince us we're not good enough that nothing is and we have to enjoy temporary fixes.

Thank God we don't he offers us eternal life and best of all the mercy that brings peace.
