Fireproof

I just finished watching Fireproof. I had a good laugh today watching this show.

" A woman's like a rose; if you treat her right, she'll bloom, if you don't, she'll wilt",

Caleb's colleague got married for the wrong reasons, then he turned around and got a divorce for the wrong reasons and he thought he was just following his heart.

"This doctor is trying to woo you while you're still married, what makes you think he won't do that with someone else?"

How can someone show love over and over again when they're constantly rejected?
The answer is: you can't love her, because you can't give her what you don't have. I couldn't truly love your mother until I understood what love truly was. It's not because I get some reward out of it. I've now made a decision to love your mother whether she deserves it or not. Son, God loves you, even though you don't deserve it. Even though you've rejected Him. Spat in His face. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for your sin, because He loves you. The cross was offensive to me, until I came to it. But when I did, Jesus Christ changed my life. That's when I truly began to love your mom. Son, I can't settle this for you. This is between you and the Lord. But I love you too much not to tell you the truth. Can't you see that you need Him? Can't you see that you need His forgiveness?

Most people promise for better or for worse, they really only mean for the better.
When two people get married; it's for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health.

"Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it"

Caleb Holt: I know that. But marriages aren't fireproof. Sometimes you get burned.

You never leave your partner! Especially in a fire!

It is the desire of Caleb and Catherine to establish their vows from this point on as a covenant, and not a contract. For marriage is a sacred institution established by God and one that is meant to last for life.

Lives

Our lives are like a river. The rolling waters of the river flow, Where they end up, We will never know.
It's God's plan you see, Not to tell any one of us That when it's over, where we'll be.

Jesus loves me!

Mark 10:13-16: “People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.”

The truth of Christ’s love for me is simple to say yet difficult to believe. It takes faith -- faith provided by God. The term “love” evokes a relationship, commitment, devotion. The lyrics of the song even tell Christ’s faithfulness: “Jesus loves me still today” and “Walking with me on my way.”

For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:35-39).
