Have you ever seen a movie that made you cry unceasingly? I found this movie yesterday and I watched it last night. It was the “grave of the fireflies”. I read the review and it was said to be a very sad movie. After one hour, I didn’t find myself crying, but after I finished the movie, I couldn’t help myself but cried until I said my prayer and went to bed.
The bond between the brother and the sister in the movie is so strong, but the war is always unfriendly to everyone, especially to the children, who are the most vulnerable one. The movie is said to be the most powerful anti-war propaganda.
I read so many reviews about the movie, though it is really a very sad movie, but it is a very beautiful movie indeed. I hope you will just try find sometime and watch this movie.
I pray for those children who got trapped in the middle of the war, no matter where they are, may You, Lord, have Your mercy on them, let it happen to them as You have planned for them. I pray for those children got trapped in the children trafficking, may You show Your love to them. Please don’t let those who put them in that horrible situation escape from Your love. Show them that there is better thing to do to make the world a better place for the children.
I pray for those children whose parents are in the prison, either because of the persecution or just to pay for their deeds. Please help them, Lord, to see that You have prepared for them a better plan and You are taking care for them no matter what. I pray for those children who are in the prison or in the labor camp with their family. Help them to see when they can’t understand anything, they still can choose to trust You.
And please forgive me, forgive us as the adult that many times think of the children as useless. Please help me to hold on the bond of the brotherhood and sisterhood that I have from You. I thank You for my sisters and for the love that we have that is from You. And I thank You for those people I can call friends and family and that I can talk to You about them whenever I want to. And thank You for lending me Your ears and paying attention to every single prayer I say from my heart and my lips.
Please help me that my heart will not become harden because of the circumstances, but draw me nearer to You in every circumstance that You allow to happen in my life. Help me to offer open arms to those children who need to know Your love. Help me to share even my last penny to those children who need to be loved.
And I thank You for my sister whose birthday will be coming soon. I thank You for giving me the privilege to be able to love her though may be the world will despise her. I am thankful that You keep her in Your good care despite the condition. I am so grateful that people say I am living free of worries not because I have no problem, but I have put my hope in You. Give me courage and strength to tell them that I have my rest in You alone.
And thank You for being with me when no one sees me and I can cry or laugh with You. When the world can see my cold face, I am free because of You and as I keep walking with You, please hold my hand and my heart and never let them go, cause I can go on without You.
Please forgive me if I don’t have enough faith to hope to see the great advanced in the human civilization. Forgive me when I cry out to You because I can stand it anymore living among the ungodly people, though I myself is a sinful man and I am not pretend to be most perfect person.
Thank You for always be with me. Everything will fade away, but Your love remains and as You still don’t give up on the mankind , please help me to keep praying for them.
Finally. though it is a very sad movie, I highly recommend the movie: Grave of the fireflies. There are too many lessons in this movie that I bet no one would like to miss them out.
