May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
2 Thessalonians 3:5 NIV
Direct Your Hearts
Film directing is a field where women have historically faced barriers, but recent years have seen significant progress. Women in directing have been breaking barriers in Canada, making their mark in the industry. They have shown their talent and creativity, challenging the notion that directing is a male-dominated field. Female directors have gained recognition for their exceptional storytelling skills and unique perspectives. Their films have captivated audiences, proving that gender should not limit one’s ability to excel in directing.

One of the great comforts of the Christian life is knowing that our God has a plan for our lives. When we surrender our will to God’s perfect will, He will direct our lives so that His desires in us and for us will be complete. The apostle Paul speaks to this in 2 Thessalonians 3:5: “May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.” God’s desire is that first our hearts are singularly directed towards Him. Before He works out His will, Paul prays that God will direct us towards God’s love for us, and total trust in Jesus for whatever lies ahead. The Word of God is filled with His promises for us. He will lead us into the sweet spot of the centre of His will. There is no better place to be. Knowing that our hearts are totally centred on Him, we have the assurance that no matter where He leads us, it will be for His glory and for our best. When our hearts are directed to God’s love for us, we will persevere, as Jesus did, for everything that He calls us to do, and everywhere He leads us.
These have been words from the heart.
