Inspired by the Love of Jesus Christ

Verse of the Day (as related to the topic of this video):
"Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve." - Colossians 3:23-24 (AMP)

A movie I highly recommend: The Gospel According to Matthew (starring a very animated and engaging acting performance by Bruce Marchiano, who plays Jesus). This is a word-for-word adaptation that has a unique take on the body language and charisma of Jesus, and also makes it easier to understand and quicker to read the story. I am hopeful that this movie gives you peace, love, hope, security, comfort, and answers, as it did me, and continues to do to this day. God bless you.

Zuko’s character development in this show is simply beautiful. The moment he realised he was angry at himself hits hard for me.

[TheInfamousWolf]

Couldn't agree more with this. The moment when Uncle Iroh hugs him after everything, Zuko's face in shock is just, absolute proof that this poor boy was convinced that he was unworthy of love and that is a terrible thing for someone to live with, while also Beautiful to see that he had his Uncle there for him, to prove to him that of course he's worthy of love, and most of all. Forgiveness.

Zuko and uncle Iroh have permanently impacted me through my life and still do. Unreal show!

[rustyshackelford]

I find it interesting that Zuko was chasing freedom not honer and Aang as an airbender represents the element of freedom.

The best thing about Avatar is that the story goes about a 112 year old boy who gonna save the world. Anyways what makes the show great is that every character has his own storyline and how it shapes his/her personality. It feels like it’s not always about the Avatar but people around him need to be praised like everyone got a piece of the Avatar in them selves too

[operaanimelover]

I have always related to Zuko during my formative years. To this day, Zuko's arc going from angsty antagonist with so much emotional baggage and trauma to his emotional confusion to finding his true path in terms of redemption and finding true friends and family in Team Avatar, i.e. Aang, Toph, Katara, Sokka, and Suki, as well as forgiveness and unconditional love through his surrogate father, Uncle Iroh, to ascending the throne as Fire Lord is the most beautifully woven story I have ever witnessed on the small screen.

[TheLeah]

Zuko is definitely a character I related to the most as someone who tried to please someone who didn’t care for years, struggled with anger and trauma, suffered abuse from a family member, ex friends, and ex boyfriends, and had issues with my father who wasn’t around. Just like Zuko I only had one person who “ grounded me “ and gave me advice and that was my grandmother.

[latergator]

Damn. That 5 second clip of Iroh saying he wasn’t mad, just sad. Has me in tears all over again. Such a powerful moment.

[-Raylight]

Zuko and uncle Iroh singlehandedly made the Avatar so much better. They made my childhood better!
Thank you whoever wrote and animating Avatar the last airbender 😂

[justinfowler]

When iroh hugged zuko after he apologized for losing his way I literally burst into tears

[wiktoriazootar]

Zuko is such a relatable, complex and strong character.

[davidalvarez]

I love the character development in Zuko in the show. The part where Zuko apologizes afraid his uncle is angry with him (which he isn't) for the things he's done in the past really hit me and I love it.

[cicialex]

What I LOVE about Zuko is that he's such a relatable character. The voice actor for him, Dante Bosco, did a great job expressing Zuko's emotions, especially his anger. We're all like Zuko. Sometimes, we all make mistakes, we all get sad, we all get angry, we all can get emotional and tend to have anger issues. We sometimes go through traumatic experiences that can affect us deeply as we get older. Heck, even I can relate to Zuko. I have anger issues and get angry often and I can get emotional sometimes, but that's okay. I have flaws, just like Zuko, and I embrace them. Zuko also has flaws, like having anger issues, and he embraces them because that's what makes him who he is and that's what makes him human.

[alextalbain]

Zuko is easily the greatest character ever created. The struggles he faces are so real and how he learns to overcome them is nothing short of inspiring. I myself have had to deal with so problem in my life and watching Zuko face everything from his banishment to trying to find his place in the world always gave me hope. He's my favorite character ever and he's the inspiration for the main character in my own story. I owe him so much and he's not even real.

[Krumpins]

This video came out at the perfect time for me, because I literally just started rewatching ATLA.

[IcyDiamond]

I just finished Avatar a few weeks ago and I loved it, easy 10/10

[yanfei]

Uncle Iroh is the coolest person in the universe, change my mind.

[girly.mimi]

This show is legendary and I'm glad I grew up watching it. Zuko has the best character development as well.
