"LOvE chANgEs Us"

(2006)

I could not sleep last night and decided to watch a movie. I was looking for a good action movie but I could not find one. However, I ended up choosing "A Walk To Remember" movie. Yes! You heard it right. I watch Love Stories, too. :-P

Well, the story is about two different people brought together by fate and were put to test the power of faith and love to transform a life into something worth living. So tragic yet spiritual love story. What struck me most on this movie is about the "kindness, charity, forgiveness, redemption, strong faith, and love" of every characters showed.

LOVE changes us. We can spot those who have begun a new romance by their smiles, their increased energy, the way they dress, and the way they talk constantly about the new love in their lives.

On the spiritual level, Paul realized the power of loving and being loved. As I read the passage on Ephesians 3:18-19, he knew that the secret of effective evangelism for the Christians was that they continually experience how much they were loved by God. The same is true for us today. If we understand the length, height, width, and depth of God's love for us, there is nothing we cannot do.

And for us, we show our love for others in different ways, some small and some more significant. But God didn't show us love by giving us a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates. God showed us love by giving us His son Jesus Christ to die on a cross. That's how much God loves us. When our roots sink into this love, we are strengthened and God's love shows in our actions. We are changed.



Paul wrote, "I pray that you may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
~Ephesians 3:18-19
