Fireproof

John Holt: Caleb, if I had to ask you why you're so frustrated with Catherine, what would you say?
Caleb Holt: She's stubborn. She makes everything difficult for me. She's ungrateful. She's constantly griping about something.
John Holt: Has she thanked you for anything you've done in the last 20 days?
Caleb Holt: No! And you'd think after I washed the car, changed the oil, do the dishes, washed the house, that she would try to show me a little bit of gratitude, but she doesn't. In fact, when I come home, she makes me feel like I'm an enemy! I'm not even welcome in my own home, dad! That is what really ticks me off! Dad, for the last three weeks I have bent over backwards for her! I have tried to demonstrate that I still care about this relationship. I bought her flowers, which she threw away. I have taken her insults and her sarcasm, but last night was it. I made dinner for her. I did everything I could to demonstrate that I care about her, to show value for her, and she spat in my face! She does not deserve this, dad! I am not doing it anymore! How am I supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over, who constantly rejects me?
John Holt: [John Holt strokes the wooden cross, and turns to Caleb] That's a good question.
Caleb Holt: Dad, that is not what I'm doing.
John Holt: Is it?
Caleb Holt: No. Dad, that is not what this is about.
John Holt: Son, you just asked me: how can someone show love over and over again when they're constantly rejected? Caleb, 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?
Caleb Holt: Yes.
John Holt: Will you trust Him with your life?
[Caleb nods; yes] 

I love this movie. :)
Oh you know. I seldom have the energy and time to watch movies. But who knows, this is such a great one.
Watched it on the way to Singapore. I'm now here at my aunt's place for dinner. There's internet here :D
Man.. Seriously an amazing movie :)
Must watch!! Then you'll understand :)
I really want to dedicate this movie to my friends. Actually everyone, if possible.
Another quote is: Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it.
:)
And: You never leave your partner! Especially in a fire!
This one was in a scene where Caleb was saying to this firefighter who left his partner. And same thing is happening to him. He should never leave his spouse especially during fights/hard times in life etc. Amazing right :)
As for this: She does not deserve this, dad! I am not doing it anymore! How am I supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over, who constantly rejects me?
It's also the same thing. We do not deserve this. How does God show love to us over and over and over, even when we constantly reject him? :)
Love is unconditional. You don't love because you're going to get a reward or something, or whether that someone deserves your love or not. God loves us, even though we don't deserve it. ♥

Watched it just the day before Valentine's day. What a perfect unplanned timing :)
Right now, it's your turn to watch ;)
