Musings on TWILIGHT

So for the past few days, I couldn't stop thinking about TWILIGHT. It was such an emotionally intense movie that it's hard to shake it off. I would be going about my day and I would suddenly remember the intense emotion of the movie. When I remember the portrayal of such an intense and unconditional love, it's only natural that I start to evaluate the relationships that I have in my life and wonder if I am loving and being loved unconditionally by those in my life.

I then started to realize that I DO have a relationship where I am loved with a passionate and unconditional love. I began to see an analogy between the love story in TWILIGHT and the love story that I have experienced in my own life. Now don't get me wrong, this is just an analogy, so of course not everything lines up. And I know its a bit of a far stretch, but this is just what came to mind, and now I can't get it out of my head. You can laugh at me if you would like to. I know I'm weird.

In TWILIGHT, Edward loves Bella so much that he can't bear to be seperated from her. He does anything so that he can be with her, he risks his life and saves hers, he watches her when she sleeps, and he's always around to save her with his super powers whenever she gets in a tough spot.

To me, this unconditional love reminds me of the love that God has for me and for everyone else in the world. God loves us so much that He wants to always be with us, so when we turned our backs on Him, He wanted us back so badly that He died to pay sin's penalty that we owed. Because of Jesus's death and ressurection, I now have a restored relationship with God and I know that I will have eternal life in heaven with God. God watches over me while I sleep, and He always takes care of me and keeps me from harm.

In the movie, Edward and James battle for Bella's life. This reminds me of how Satan challenges God's kingdom and wants to steal as many as he can away from God. In the end, Edward triunphs just as God triumphs over Satan and wins the victory.

Now I know my analogy is really werid, but that's just what I thought of, and now I can't get it out of my head. I have NOT read any of the TWILIGHT books, so everything in my analogy is based off of watching the movie once. I know that some of you hardcore fans may find many things wrong with my analogy, and you are free to reject it. It's just been going through my head so much that I just had to let it out. Thanks for reading my random musings on TWILIGHT.
