diálogo de padre e hijo en la película “Fireproof”:
·
John
Holt--- Caleb, if I had to ask you why you're so frustrated with Catherine,
what would you say?
·
Caleb
Holt--- She's stubborn. She makes everything difficult for me. She's
ungrateful. She's constantly griping about something.
·
John
Holt--- Has she thanked you for anything you've done in the last 20 days?
·
Caleb
Holt--- No! And you'd think after I washed the car, changed the oil, do the
dishes, washed the house, that she would try to show me a little bit of
gratitude, but she doesn't. In fact, when I come home, she makes me feel like
I'm an enemy! I'm not even welcome in my own home, dad! That is what really
ticks me off! Dad, for the last three weeks I have bent over backwards for her!
I have tried to demonstrate that I still care about this relationship. I bought
her flowers, which she threw away. I have taken her insults and her sarcasm,
but last night was it. I made dinner for her. I did everything I could to
demonstrate that I care about her, to show value for her, and she spat in my
face! She does not deserve this, dad! I am not doing it anymore! How am I
supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over, who constantly
rejects me?
·
John Holt--- [John Holt strokes the wooden
cross, and turns to Caleb] That's a good question.
·
Caleb
Holt--- Dad, that is not what I'm doing.
·
John
Holt--- Is it?
·
Caleb
Holt--- No. Dad, that is not what this is about.
·
John
Holt--- Son, you just asked me: how can someone show love over and over again
when they're constantly rejected? Caleb, the answer is: you can't love her,
because you can't give her what you don't have. I couldn't truly love your
mother until I understood what love truly was. It's not because I get some
reward out of it. I've now made a decision to love your mother whether she
deserves it or not. Son, God loves you, even though you don't deserve it. Even
though you've rejected Him. Spat in His face. God sent Jesus to die on the
cross for your sin, because He loves you. The cross was offensive to me, until
I came to it. But when I did, Jesus Christ changed my life. That's when I truly
began to love your mom. Son, I can't settle this for you. This is between you
and the Lord. But I love you too much not to tell you the truth. Can't you see
that you need Him? Can't you see that you need His forgiveness?
·
Caleb
Holt--- Yes.
·
John
Holt--- Will you trust Him with your life?
