Bella, a Masterpiece on Life

Last weekend my wife and I finally got to enjoy the film Bella. What a great movie. It is a "must see" and even a "must own" for me.




This story messed me up. My wife and I watched Bella on the couch with our two daughters crashed in our arms (which added to the emotion) and tears filled our eyes by the films end as we saw a masterpiece of life being weaved before us. God has birthed so much passion in me over the issue of life and abortion. It is so easy in this journey of seeing a shift in culture to value life, to be become bitter and hateful. I certainly walked away from Bella with a greater passion to see the ending of abortion. When you really love something, you'll have passion to protect it. But I love people that are involved in performing abortions and having them, but I hate to see them robbed of one the greatest blessings in life. But beyond this drive to end abortion I found a greater passion for loving life. There was something so powerful in the simplicity and beauty of life that is portrayed. If image creates desire, then we should see a spike in the amount of people that choose life. Bella represents life culture to the max (at least in terms of physical life). My prayer is that people would see this film as truely pro-life, the call that Christ's followers must rise up to. It is important to be educated on the atrocities of abortion, but it is most critical to celebrate and value life. I will be writing more about the narrow mindedness of the pro-life label in a future post. But until then, if you haven't already, go watch this life changing movie.
