Fireproof

4 days ago - A very close friend of mine, who had previously seen this movie, bought this DVD whilst we were out at a Christian book store - cos wanted to share with me on how impactful this movie has been.

Today - I just viewed it. And I'm just overwhelmed.

The movie touched me in a lot of ways. It showed unconditional love that one could have for another being, given the presence of Christ in them. The type of love where our Lord could continue showing, despite us rejecting Him over and over again.

The film shows too on how we could be misled into making wrong choices in our life.
Wrong choices that appear in the form of things that seem so smooth-flowing, whilst catering to our every need.
Wrong choices that look pretty on the surface, but really are just disguises of something not so pretty.
These sort of juncture we often face during our times in dire need of love, affection, and attention amongst others - i.e. when we're at our most vulnerable point.

Also, the film enlightened me to not judge anyone based on my own understanding - because things are not always what they appear to be. A loved one whom we treat so bad sometimes, could be the one who have done just about the most for us, without us knowing. I have such people in my life, my parents. I come to realise about this throughout the years and I'm glad that I could show some gratitude while they're still alive to this very day.

p.s. God healed many people in my church service yesterday morning - including an elderly mute lady, a person who can't stand up straight amongst others. The speaker wanted to prove the following points by performing miracles via Jesus Christ on that day:

i) God is the only one true God.
ii) Jesus Christ is the only route we can get to God.
iii) To produce fruit, in keeping with repentance - i.e. if we truly repent ourselves of our past doings, we would show by doing things in furtherance of His will and Kingdom.
