If you are reading this review on the Sabbath, then I would like to wish you a Sabbath filled with the conviction to go where God leads you.

This week’s review is for the short film, Harlem Grace.

Description

What happens when a Harvard graduate with a promising future, from a prominent family, decides to move into Harlem to help the homeless? This film, based on the life of Joseph Holland, former New York State Commissioner of Housing, chronicles the impact of one individual on the lives of homeless men.

Told through the lens of Joe's relationship with one homeless man, the story teaches powerful lessons about trust, perseverance and the power of redemption. It challenges each viewer to remember that we can, and should, make a difference in our world.

This film contained two powerful references from the Word of God,

Romans 12:2 - Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Matthew 25:35-36 - For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.

This film is a testament to what we can do when we have the power of the LORD behind us and we trust in His will and guidance.
