"I remember I prayed over and over again in this room, praying that Josh was born healthy, but it was useless. You prayed for your career for a long time, but there was no result. Dad, I asked God to heal Melissa. I am now What should you do?" If someone asks you a question like this, how should you answer it? If all wishes and prayers become despair and disappointment, how can life continue? The answer given in the movie "I Still Believe" is: "I don't know the answer to your question, but I know one thing. Without these disappointing little things, my life is not complete. It is because of them that I am fulfilled." Time Back on September 1, 1999, Jeremy Camp packed his bags and bid farewell to his younger brother Josh, who was born with a disability. This day was the day when his university started. Jeremy has a large family that is not wealthy. There are kind parents and two lively younger brothers. He who has a talent for music likes guitar and singing. On the day of school, his parents loaned him to buy a guitar. Because my father, who is also a music fan, knows that music is just a hobby for himself (Hobby), but for Jeremy, it is a gift from God (Gift). In terms of film structure alone, the first main line of the film-music has already begun. With the rising sun, the youthful and handsome Jeremy began his college life. Here, he first met his favorite singer Jane Luke. Backstage at a concert, Jeremy, who sneaked in, accidentally assumed the role of Jane Luke as a tuner. In the first meeting of two people, Jane Luke told Jeremy the truth of music : music is not measured by success, but what your music brings to people. This principle paved the way for the end of the movie. At this Jane Luke concert, Jeremy met the heroine of the story, Melissa, who fell in love at first sight. This is another main line of the movie, and the most important main line. Youth cannot be hidden. The vitality hormones burst out by the hot age are the most beautiful things in the world. Not only did Jeremy become good friends with Jane Luke, he also fell in love with Melissa at first sight. The fanatical Jeremy has long been immersed in the fantasy of love, and he has not seen the melancholy hidden in Melissa’s eyes. The end of the story has actually begun. Then Jeremy discovered that Melissa and Jane Lu Ke is a very good friend, and Melissa also admitted that Jane Luke has shown another look at her, so in the face of Jeremy’s pursuit, Melissa was afraid of losing her friend Jane Luke. Hesitate. If the story develops along this line, it is bound to be a bloody plot of a love triangle. But the cheerful Melissa finally made her own decision one morning: She was going to start a first date with Jeremy. Those eyes that only look forward to and hope are only available to young boys and girls. In love stories about youth, there are always heartbreaking moments. It is a red glow blocking the sunrise and a bee among the flowers. Maybe it makes the calm picture ripples, but it is still so beautiful. . The relationship between Jeremy and Melissa finally did not hide the truth from their mutual friend Jane Luke. The kind and inexperienced Melissa thought that the date that was bumped into would hurt Jane Luke, and finally After a big fight with Jeremy, the two also broke up. Perhaps it was the girl's sensitivity and concern, coupled with the "breakup" blow with Jeremy, Melissa broke down, and she was diagnosed with a serious illness-cancer. To make matters worse, the disease is at an advanced stage and has spread to the liver. Everyone knows what terminal cancer means. It is nothing short of a disaster for two young people who have just fallen in love, but what can it change? The beautiful young Melissa was tormented by the pain of illness and could not sleep. She began to write a diary. No one knew what was written in it, even Jeremy was not allowed to read it. Even though disease can cause pain, it often allows people to see more things. The sick Melissa saw Jeremy's loyalty and guardianship. She didn't compose her lyrics like Jeremy did, but just told Jeremy: I love you, I love you, I love you! Both believe that the disease will always pass. Jeremy, who never left, made a promise to the sincere Melissa: get married! This should be the best gift a boy could give to his beloved girl. At the moment Melissa was discharged from the hospital, Jeremy solemnly knelt down and put Melissa on her mother's ring. At that moment, it was like the whole world. Both belong to them. The perfect wedding, the romantic sea breeze, the prayers of the audience, the encouragement of friends...all the beauty is still a short-lived, and it does not stop the sick hands from taking Melissa away from the world. They once returned to the place where they met, recalled the scene of their first date, and said their final farewell. At that moment, everything was silent, and the world was as calm as water, as if nothing happened and nothing happened. Jeremy's eyes were the same as when Melissa said "I do" on the day when the relationship was confirmed, longing for hope and miracles, but with a touch of sadness and awe of life. When Jeremy played the honeymoon tune for Melissa again, the tune sung with tears made Jeremy understand the music truth that Jane Luke once said: music is not based on success or failure. It is measured, but what your music brings to people. His music brought the last light and nostalgia to his wife who was about to finish her life journey. Melissa was gone... Jeremy was distraught. He was silent and ran wild in the rain. When the desperate Jeremy smashed his beloved guitar, he found the diary left by Melissa.
Jeremy, I know you will find it someday, and I finally let you read my diary.
I realized that the day I started to love you, I thought about it a lot, do you remember? I stand there, impressed by your musical talent, knowing that one day God will use your talent to impress the world.
The feeling that day was the same as I am now. You fell asleep on my shoulders, but the gift of sickness is that I can have more time to think when it is difficult to sleep. I think about a lot of the stories you told at the concert. You are good at telling ancient stories, remote but true. In one story, God healed everything, while in another story it was the opposite. I understand one thing: they all have value. Because every chapter is part of a larger story, every stroke is a stroke on the beautiful canvas, and every one is the light of a star in the galaxy. I know I am one of the lucky ones, and I have experienced both stories.
I have my own miracle, let me spend a perfect day with you, this is enough. Pain does not destroy faith, it can only make it more perfect. God is trustworthy. Even if we can't see it, I am so safe in God's arms. Even though I still don't understand its mission, I still walk toward the light with peace and bravery.
So, please do one thing for me, Jeremy, for me, for your talent, and for everyone in the world, when you are ready, pick up your guitar again!
Two years later, when Jeremy picked up the guitar again, a girl in heaven accompanied him and sang "I Still Believe" together.
