Lessons from Bruce Almighty

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here there can be no denying
One of us is changing or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

I've been ignoring God pretty much lately..been quite ashamed of myself. Stems from my laziness to even take the initiative to pray. I felt that He's ignoring me anyways. Can't blame Him though, I mean, if you ignore someone, most of the time, they'll ignore you as well, right? I've even asked Him for a sign for me to continue serving. I don't really wanna do it anymore this year. But how on earth is He gonna give me a sign when I don't read His word?? I didn't really think much about it after that.

So when I watched Bruce Almighty yesterday afternoon, it was a pretty strong cue when Morgan Freeman aka God said, "You can't make someone to love you, if I know how to make someone to love me, my job is done."

Free will was ultimately what was granted to us from our inception. And God doesn't interfere with that. When I heard the actor saying it (felt like he was uttering the words directly at me), it stirred me rather powderfully. Well, apart from my almost empty stomach from my early brunch-cum-gym session.

Well, maybe He is trying to tell me something.

Either ways, I hope the line in Bruce Almighty moves some of you people out there and hopefully inspires you to do something about it, especially if you find your relationship with God rather dwindling of late..
