The land under the cross is old and dead

The first time I came into contact with Christ was in the cathedral in Haidian District. At that time, there was a grand wedding. I only remember the children in angel costumes, the petals flying all over the sky, the pure white wedding dress, and the sweetest voice "I Yes." I sat there quietly, I knew that I was participating in a ceremony, but I didn't know what it meant, I just thought it was really beautiful, and I secretly hoped that I would also be in such a holy ceremony The place to marry my favorite woman. It now seems that such a beautiful memory may be a seed of love that Jesus Christ planted in my heart.
When I saw the scene at the end of Fireproof, I took the oath again in the holy name of Jesus, and my heart suddenly shook. After 3 years, I saw this scene again, and I didn't have any feelings.
Love is always a deep word. Due to human limitations, it is impossible to truly love another person only by human strength. Because human love is motivated, conditional, and needs to be obtained. I remember there was such a sentence: "If love has a cause, it is not love; if love has an effect, it is not love; love is beyond cause and effect.". Boys are puzzled by girls because girls cannot express the self-esteem that boys need; girls are puzzled by boys because boys ignore girls' feelings. The two sides were simply incomprehensible, and slowly expanded into a strong contradiction, and finally burst into a huge emotional rift, which almost led to the tragedy of broken marriage.
Neither of the two emotional parties has seriously considered what love is. They care more about returns, and their essential purpose is to obtain, rather than true love. The Bible says that God is love. Love is a kind of purity, love is a kind of non-seeking, love is a kind of detachment. Love him, what to do with him. What the Lord has given us is sunshine, rain and dew, an exquisite survival system, and an incomparably noble spirit. This is the gift of the Lord to us, and the love of the Lord for us. And we should learn how to dedicate ourselves, how to reflect the Lord's love, if we use the Lord's love we perceive to shine on more people. We are all just water droplets, refracting sunlight and warming the whole world.
So there are two things we can do: 1. Turn ourselves into clear dewdrops, in order to refract more sunlight and welcome the love of the Lord; 2. Refract the love of the Lord, and let the love of the Lord reflect from your life , glorify the Lord. In fact, what we can see is that when the boy welcomed the love of God and felt the sunshine of life, his whole life became brisk and rhythmic, just like the throbbing notes, he loved the girl unconditionally, As for the result, he didn't care too much. He only knows that he is very happy, because he has achieved the purest love.
There may be many non-believers who feel weird after seeing it, or feel disapproval, or even stretch their faces to resist at a glance. Many things in life only depend on whether you believe it or not. If everything in the world, if your life, your fortunes, and all your goodness are blessings from a God silently behind your back, why should you try to respect him and feel his goodness?
In the end, I just want to say, love with your heart, everything has its own arrangements.

Fireproof quotes

  • Catherine Holt: What are you doing?

    Caleb Holt: I see you left me no pizza.

    Catherine Holt: Caleb, I just lit that candle. I like the way it smells.

    Caleb Holt: Well, I don't! Did you leave me any dinner at all?

    Catherine Holt: I assumed you were eating with Michael.

    Caleb Holt: Does it not occur to you that there are two people living in this house and both of them need to eat?

    Catherine Holt: You know what, Caleb, if you would communicate with me, maybe I can have something for you.

    Caleb Holt: Why do you have to make everything so difficult?

    Catherine Holt: Oh, I'm making everything difficult? Seems to me like I'm carrying the weight around here while you're off doing your own thing.

    Caleb Holt: Excuse me? I'm the one working out there to pay this mortgage, and I pay for both of the cars.

    Catherine Holt: Yeah, that's all you do! I pay for all of our bills with my salary!

    Caleb Holt: Which you agreed to do. That's fair! Do you not like this house? Do you not like your car?

    Catherine Holt: Oh, Caleb, who takes care of this house? Me! Who washes all the clothes? Me! Who gets all the groceries? Me! Not to mention that I'm helping my parents every weekend! You know I've got all this pressure on me, and the only thing you ever do for anybody is for yourself!

    Caleb Holt: Let me tell you something: you don't know the first thing about pressure. All right, you think I put out house fires for myself? Or rush to car wrecks at 2AM for myself? Or pull a child's body out of a lake for myself? You have no idea what I go through!

    Catherine Holt: Oh, yeah, but what do you do around here other than watch TV and waste time on the Internet? You know what? If looking at that trash is how you get fulfilled, that's fine, but I will not compete with it!

    Caleb Holt: Well, I sure don't get it from you!

    Catherine Holt: And you won't! Because you care more about saving for your stupid boat and pleasing yourself than you ever did about me!

    Caleb Holt: SHUT UP! I'M SICK OF YOU! YOU DISRESPECTFUL, UNGRATEFUL, SELFISH WOMAN!

    Catherine Holt: I'm not selfish...

    Caleb Holt: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME! YOU CONSTANTLY NAG ME AND YOU DRAIN THE LIFE OUT OF ME! I'M TIRED OF IT! IF YOU CAN'T GIVE ME THE RESPECT I DESERVE... LOOK AT ME! THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS MARRIAGE?

    Catherine Holt: I want out. I just want out.

    Caleb Holt: If you want out, THAT'S FINE WITH ME!

  • Latasha Brown: Honey, I agree with you. You gotta get out. He don't deserve you.

    Deidra Harris: You can say that again. A real man's got to be a hero to his wife before he can be to anybody else, or he ain't a real man.

    Ashley Phillips: Catherine, do you need a place to stay? I can't imagine living in the same house as that man.

    Catherine Holt: No, I decided last night that I am not the one who's leaving. He's the problem, not me.

    Deidra Harris: That's right, girl, stand your ground. Make him respect you. If there's one thing a man understands...

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael, discussing the same situation] ... .it's respect. That's the issue. That's the reason our marriage is failing. She shows me no respect at all. And the saddest part about it is...

    Catherine Holt: [Cuts back to Catherine and her group of friends] He doesn't have a clue. He thinks our marriage has been fine for the most part. You know, he probably thinks...

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] Our marriage has been fine until this year. Now all of a sudden she goes off the deep end.

    Michael Simmons: Do you really think this happened all of a sudden?

    Caleb Holt: I don't know what to think. I don't understand her. She's emotional about everything, she's easily offended, and way too sensitive.

    Catherine Holt: [Cuts to Catherine, starting to sob] I mean, he's so insensitive. You know, he doesn't truly care how I feel, he doesn't listen to me. Even if I say it over and over and over again.

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] And then she starts nagging me and saying I don't listen to her... or something like that. It drives me crazy. I feel like I'm going...

    Catherine Holt: [Cuts to Catherine] Insane. You know, he doesn't understand my needs. It feels like we are completely and totally...

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] Incompatible. She's probably whining to her friends, making me sound like a criminal. I can see them all right now: crying, having some sort of group hug.

    Latasha Brown: [Cuts back to the women crowded around Catherine, comforting her, giving her a group hug] It's gonna be OK, sweetie. It's gonna be all right.

    Ashley Phillips: You'll get through this.

    Deidra Harris: We have your back. Whatever you want. Whatever you need. Whatever you need.

    Michael Simmons: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] So, you think it's past the point of no return?

    Caleb Holt: I don't have a reason to return.
