Early in the movie, "It’s a Wonderful Life", Mr. Potter and Peter Bailey are verbally sparring about Building and Loan matters. Potter suggests Peter isn't putting enough pressure on people to pay their mortgages. “But times are tough”, the Building and Loan founder points out. "Then foreclose!" says Potter. "I can't do that," Peter objects. "These families have children." "They're not my children," gruffs Potter. "But they're somebody's children," maintains Peter.
In this single exchange, we see how two men look at the same circumstances through such different eyes. It’s all a matter of perspective – helping others and caring for children. You see to be right with God everyone must approach Him with childlike faith.
"That you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights to the world." Philippians 2:15
May we go and do likewise. Amen?
