CHICK FLICKS

I love and appreciate movies. I love nearly all genres, except for science-fiction movies that deal with aliens. Ever since I saw War of the Worlds, I just couldn't take another alien race invading our planet Earth.
The movies I really love watching fall into the genre of "romantic comedies." Or in other words, "chick flicks." Whether if it's a masterpiece such as Sleepless in Seattle, or whether it's as horrible as Beastly. I could watch any of them really.
I love watching how two people develop feelings for each other, and how in the end, both people captivate each others' hearts. After watching a good amount of these movies, I began thinking to myself. Why do I like watching them? Why do other people like watching them? Why does Hollywood put in so much money in order to throw so many of these movies out there?
And I came to this conclusion. We were all meant for love. We were all meant to love and be loved in return. To be in such an intimate relationship where you fall more in love with the other person each day.
God created the ultimate love story by sending His Son, Jesus to die for us so that we could enter into such an intimate relationship with Him. A relationship that is eternal, stable, and perfect. Being loved with perfect love. Being assured with His comfort and peace that surpasses all our understanding. Being in a safe place where we can rest and not have to worry about our tomorrows because our God is God, and He will always be faithful to the end. Being loved with a forgiveness that chooses to forget. His perfect love makes us NEW and not better.
That is who my God is. The One who is perfect love.
