Fireproof Your Relationships

I don't know what it is lately with these movies but this Mother's Day, I decided to watch Fireproof. It was so worth it! I was inspired. A firefighter decides to take on a 40 day dare to help save his marriage but the movie was about so much more than a marriage. It carried themes of forgiveness, unconditional love, and committment. It made me realize that the same energy I put into my work can be the same energy I put into meaningful realtionships - personal and business.

God loved us despite our underserving attitudes so why do we find it so hard to love others when they have done us wrong? Easier said than done, right? I realizeed that this grace only comes from the strength and surrenderance to God. No way can we do this on our own. The willingness to let it all go, gives us an unimaginable freedom. Not only for us, but for the person who offended us as well.

At the end of the day, all the arguments, strife, and angry comments don't really matter anyway. Love is what really counts. I dare you to fireproof your relationships for 40-days as the book in the movie suggests. See if your life doesn't change for the better. You'll have to watch the movie to get the details though.
