I love superhero movies. I don’t really know why. I don’t read comic books. Maybe it was me, as a child, hoping to be rescued from sexual abuse and neglect or maybe it was in watching superhero movies like Superman, I was able to escape my dysfunctional childhood for a few hours. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until entering recovery that the Holy Spirit gave me some special “recovery glasses” that have allowed me to spot recovery themes in various media; music, movies, photographs, etc… These themes can include support groups, honesty, selfishness, selflessness, redemption, etc… that are portrayed in the movie.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of these movies. The plot of this movie has been pasted below courtesy of Google:
What I saw in this movie was the hope that we give to others when we sponsor them as well as us needing hope for healing as we listen to the worst of the worst from our sponsees. Therapists and counselors also experience this hope when they see the transformation process. But it is up to the sponsor, therapist, or counselor not to break underneath the weight of the brokenness of those he is trying to help. It is the greatest gift we have, to help one another the way God helped us and help them bear their burdens. This movie is dedicated to all sponsors, mentors, facilitators, therapists, and counselors who willing help others out of their love for God and His healing of the individual we help.
I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed creating it. As always, take what you like and leave the rest.
