First, there are lots of scenes where the girl chose to be alone, leaving the two men, wiping in tears and in a bad shape, yet this two men, kept watching from distance and 'spying' on her, to make sure she's alright. There were many times when she got really sick and couldn't go on, and desperately need help, then he always come up in the right time, ready to assist. Even though it was the girl who left him away, but no matter what, he's there, keeping an eye on her.
Can you really find this kind of love in the real life, except in the movie? No, I don't think so. Everyone's so busy with their own life to keep an eye for your sake! But to tell you the truth, this is the kind of love that I've been receiving from God. From this movie, I can sense that God always keeps his eyes on me, on a distance, to make sure I'm always alright, and when I need it the most, He's always there. I imagine God hides in one of the car down the road when I got out of my office, watching me going home (like in the movie, lol. He does though, not from the car maybe, maybe He is.. I don't know, but I know for sure that He watches me). Though many times I have left him, because of circumstances, or my anger, and felt like I want to get away from anything, yet He's quietly there, still watching n loving me so much.
Thank You God, for always watching me, even though I don't always realize it.
Second, more or less you can get the feel of his unconditional love to the girl (right?!). Hehe. He prefered to be suffering rather than being happy, but loosing her. He preferred to loose his job, wealth and whatever he has, rather than living 'happily' without her. It doesn't matter how circumstances may change to its worst, but whatever it is, he just doesn't want to loose her, and his only life reason is to be always beside her. And, again, I can picture God's love for me. He rather being bitten to death and crucified, rather than loosing me. He just would rather loose everything, except me. His only desire and His only reason is so that I can Him can be together. It's like, there's no reason to live if he is not with her, and amazingly, that's how God feel about us, there's no reason for living, if he doesn't have us.
Thank You God for Your unconditional love that You rather loosing your life, rather than loosing me.
And third, it's about that love, hope and trust in an invisible-contained box. In the movie, the guy gave an empty box to the girl. First time, he said he didn't really know what else that he could give her, as he loved her too much. So, he ‘took' his heart (as the centre of life), and 'put' in that box. I guess, that's how much God loves us. It's not about money, career, health, and good things that He's given us, but on top of that, it's His love, His heart, His everything.
The second thing he ‘put' was trust, and last, he 'put' in was hope. This is the three most important things that he has given her (even tho we can't really see in as real things), for them to 'survive'. Again, I see this are the things that God has given me in an invisible-contained box: love, trust (faith) and hope, to hold on, to able to survive in my relationship with Him. When the guy was exposed in the news that he was going to marry another girl, he remained her, "just trust me". And that's how God always strengthen myself in Him. As far as my eyes can see, and my ears can hear, even though it's so rough, just trust Him. Trust His unconditional love, trust that He has put His heart for me, trust that He's given His heart for me, even He has laid His life for me, so there's no way that He's gonna hurt/ leave me. Trust/ faith sees the invisibles beyond the visibles.
Roma 4: 20
Tetapi terhadap janji Allah ia tidak bimbang karena ketidakpercayaan, malah ia diperkuat dalam imannya...
Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith...
What's hope for? Hope was given to the girl, as their relationship seems to be impossible that time. As if he said to her, don't loose hope in me, in our relationship, in our love. And that's also the way God always remain me, if I really love Him, don't loose hope.. coz love never fails., and His love never fails.
Love, trust and hope. These are the main nerves of love-life. You can't say you do love, but you don't trust and you don't have hope.
Thank you God for the invisible-contained (invisible) box *soalnya gw box kosong pun nya ngga ada =p*, that You have given me. I will learn to love You by holding on tightly to Your unconditional love, trusting You with all of my heart, and always full of hope in You.
