You are my life now




Bella meets Edward. Bella falls in love with Edward.

Bella would do anything for him. Be anything for him.

Bella lives and breathes Edward.

Bella is dead scared to lose him.

Edward breaks up with Bella.

Bella falls apart.

Bella stops living.

This is what happens in the second movie. Edward loves her so much and is so concerned about her safety and happiness that he decides that she would have a better chance at that if he wasn’t around… And so he decides to leave her.

After that Bella falls into depression, has constant panic attacks, doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t look forward to anything anymore. It was like her life walked out the door the minute he walked out of her life.

I wish this was something that only happened in movies, but unfortunately this is pretty much the reality of many girls nowadays.

They meet a guy, fall head over hills for him and the ‘love’ they feel is so strong that they are absolutely sure they can’t live without him.

And so they do whatever is necessary to keep that person’s love.

They go against their better judgment.

They turn against their parents if they dare disagree with her ‘new found love’.

Others give themselves completely and unconditionally to the guy, just so they won’t lose them.

They turn away from friends, lose focus on their studies, forget about the plans they had for the future. They change the way they dress, hang out in places they would never go before, accept whatever and whenever, do whatever is necessary, risk everything for someone they say they love.

And the worst is, some even turn their backs on God and everything they once believed in. They abandon their faith; they throw their salvation out the window, and for what? For a guy who ‘loves’ them today and may ‘love’ someone else tomorrow.

They completely lose themselves.

But what if their ‘Edward’ turns out to be a jerk?

What if he decides he doesn’t ‘love’ her anymore?

What if her ‘life’ walks out on her and never even looks back?

If he was her life, what happens to her if he leaves?

What will she be left with?

  1. This is a eye opening message and a warning to myself and many young girls in the church to put our eyes focus on what is important an not put our hearts in anything other than God,because many times we put our lovelife on top of everything else and when its broken everything else in our lives is broken too including our salvation.My prayer is for God to protect me from this trap as i do my part to be watchful more than praying.

  2. She'll be left with nothing! A man will never truly love a woman until they are born of God! Period, end of story!

  3. I wish girls had their eyes open, and stop being being "bellas" who put a guys 'love' first and put everything at risk, including there salvation. This bella-syndrome needs to stop. This is the many reason why we see girls out there, depressed, self-esteem low etc. living with a heavy baggage on their hearts, and wishing their 'love of their life' come back to them. But the girl that has heart on God, she will never come down. She will always be standing firm, no matter how strong the wind is.

  4. Anything that you put before God in your life will turn out to be a big disaster, because He, Himself said that without Him we can not do nothing, and thats that!

  5. This will end just badly, But when we commit our ALL to God He will never live us, it is us that left Him. Indeed your right Stacy anything that we put before God only leads to pain..

    Thanks to posting and pointing out this part of the movie and this problem of us females when God is not first priority in our life.
