The "Point":
Rita Hayworth born, Margarita Carmen Cansino, on October 17, 1918 was known as one of the greatest actresses of all time. Doing 61 films in 37 years was no easy feat. She was raised as a dancer, not an actress, by her Spanish father who was also a dancer. At the age of eighteen she married a man twice her age which led to her seeking work as an actress out of need of income. After five years of marriage and Hollywood stardum she divorced. She would marry and divorce four more times. She has two girls during those marriages one of which is a princess. In 1972 she starred in her last film and in 1980 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. She would be laid to rest seven years later.
Rita struggled alcoholism her entire life. She was unable to cope with the stresses of life and her career. In her biography it says she was raised as a Christian and desired for her daughters to be raised as such as well. I also noticed that she was a woman full of pain and hurt, as the majority of the men that she was married to would abuse her emotionally and use her for her success. As I read her life story, I wondered if that was the life that "Christianity"is supposed to offer. By no means does Christianity give you a key to access a perfectly happy life, but is supposed to provide one full of purpose, hope, and love.
I believe that very few people actually tap into that life. They go to a church service every Sunday, pray on occasion to meet the "requirement", but they continue to live destroyed. How many of us actually seek God and really believe that our lives can be happy? Do we talk to Jesus only when we need something? Do we go to church as a requirement to make someone happy? Do we ever feel like we are too stained or broken to possibly be noticed by God? These are all valid questions to ask ourselves...
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I come so that they may have life and have it to the full." John 10:10
To have a relationship with Christ isn't meant to be a daily requirement. It is meant to be a lifestyle that has the capabilities to transform our way of thinking, our decision making, and even our feelings. I grew up in the church and I never found that real connection with Christ till a couple of years ago. I went to missionary school, studied theology, but it was all just a religion that I had been living out. Two days after I married I moved to a completely new place, a new culture, and was far away from family and friends. For two years I lived in a deep depression and hated everything about my life. It wasn't until I began to really understand the truth in Jesus' words that I began to slowly pull myself out of the pit. I began to really make an effort when I opted to visit a Christian Therapist, who is now one of my spiritual fathers, and read books that I knew would teach me more about the truth of who Jesus is. I would literally pray and ask God to "unteach me all that I thought was truth and reteach me what was real". Today I can say that I am more in love with Jesus than I have ever been. It didn't happen from night to day; it was a process.
Today I talk to God on a regular basis. I seek out podcast of woman who offer insight that is of great use to my heart. I read books about learning to grow in Christ and I continue to learn more about seeking him through his word. Today I refuse to live out a religion. I chose to live a relationship and not live feeling sorry for myself and the circumstances that surround me. We must chose to use the things in our lives to propel us to a fuller way of living through Christ as it was intended.
I challenge you to seek out way to find Jesus. Weather it is through writing, music, reading, painting, or even just talking and listening, I can guarantee that he will not close His ear to a heart that longs for him!
