A surface level analysis of April's (leading character in the movie) life will leave you thinking she had a pretty good life. I mean she had a job, a big house, nice clothes, a great singing voice, friends, and a man. However, a closer look will reveal she only had the appearance of success. A closer analysis reveals she hated her job, the big house was raggedy, she was mean to all her friends and family,and her man was actually someone else's man. As the movie continued to unravel I began to realize that one of the reason's her life was so bad is because she had a bad man in it.
I wonder how many of us are living below our potential because we've surrounded ourselves with "bad" people--people who, at the end of the day, only care about their well-being. Anyone that we allow into our life should bring joy, peace, and happiness. They should contribute to us becoming all that God has created us to be. However, as in April's case, we often allow people into our life who encourage us to be content with mediocrity. But how long will you settle? What will it take for you to finally wake up and realize how dangerous it is for you to allow certain to stay in your life? Unfortunately, April didn't realize the detriment of Randy's presence in her life until he tried rape Jennifer. Will it take you or someone you dear to you being raped of their hopes and dreams before you decide to issue eviction papers?
I encourage everyone today to do an assessment of their life and if you discover that someone adds more bad than good to your life, then you should let them go. At the end of the day, if you're going to do bad, you might as well do bad by yourself because then you have one less mouth to worry about:)
Peace!
