Slumdog Millionaire: Destiny Written in Scars (Genesis 50:20)

87 words

In Slumdog Millionaire, Jamal's entire life—abuse, loss, poverty, crime—prepares him to answer game show questions. Each traumatic memory holds a clue. His suffering becomes his qualification. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Jamal didn't choose the slum; the slum chose him. But what looked like random cruelty becomes precisely the education he needed. Providence doesn't waste pain. Every wound, rightly received, becomes wisdom. Jamal's destiny was written in his scars.
