I dare you to move

"I dare you to move"


I'm sitting here watching one of the biggest chick flicks of all time. You ready for it? A Walk to Remember. Yeah. You're talking about the girl who prefers superhero movies or movies with tons of action in them to chick flicks.  But something about the movie tonight made me stop on abcfamily and start watching it. 


So anyway. It gets to this part where Landon is driving to his dad's house after hearing about Jamie's cancer.  "I Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot started playing. Something about those words...


"I dare you to move" 


It made me stop for a second.  Here is this boy driving to his dad's house seeking help to make her better, healthier.  But keep in mind that earlier in the movie, he wanted nothing to do with his dad.  So the fact that he is trying to reach out to him and intercede for Jamie and her health speaks volumes.


It reminds me of the way the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.  Not many humans would do what God did for us.    I mean, He did send His Son to die for us here on Earth!  That speaks volumes of who God is and just how much He loves us.


So even though Landon is this amazing boyfriend who helped Jamie complete most of her Bucket List and stayed by her side through everything, there is Someone even more amazing out there.  He is there healing broken relationships, holding us through our hurts, and restoring us. He is someone you can count on, no matter what, to never leave your side.  Just as Landon never left Jamie's side, God does that on a MUCH larger scale because He is immortal and perfect.  


So next time you are looking for something or someone to fill the void in your life, remember who is perfect and who will never leave you.
