I will be there

Went to catch the movie "Taken", with group of friends. It is a fantastic movie and the script is fresh, I mean no one has ever shot such a theme before.

Here is the synopsis of the movie;
Former government operative Bryan Mills begins the longest 96-hours of his life--and the hunt for the fearsome organization that has taken his daughter Kim. Mills had only recently given up his government career as what he calls a "preventer" to be near Kim, who lives with Bryan's ex-wife Lenore and her new husband.
To make ends meet, Bryan joins some former colleagues for special security details (like guarding a pop diva), but most of his time and energy are spent re-connecting with Kim. Bryan's familial goal is nearly derailed when Kim requests his permission to spend time in Paris with a friend. All too aware of the dangers that could lie ahead for Kim in a foreign land, Bryan says no, but Kim's disappointment leads him to very reluctantly relent.
Bryan's worst fears are realized when Kim and her friend Amanda are suddenly abducted--in broad daylight--from the Paris apartment at which they've just arrived. Moments before Kim is dragged away by the as yet unseen and unknown assailants, she manages to phone Bryan, who begins to expertly piece together clues that will take him to the darkness of Paris's underworld, and to the City of Light's plushest mansions. He will face nightmares worse than anything he experienced in black ops--and let nothing and no one stop him from saving his daughter.


In this movie I saw the deep love of the father (Bryan) for his daughter (Kim).
After hearing that Kim & her friend Amanda was being kidnap by Paris's underworld (who's main business involve drugs, human trafficking, & forcing innocent ladies into prostitution), Bryan did not hesitate to go on a mission hunt risking every inch of his life to rescue his beloved daughter. In this show Bryan had only a 96hours time frame to rescue Kim, as after that she will be transported out from Paris. The wisdom & dangers Bryan put himself through, to locate and fight for his daughter's life. Bryan made every second counts.

Sidetrack;
While watching this show I was reminded of the story in the bible about Joseph. Joseph was being betrayed by his brother, sold to Egypt as slave and the story continues on how he suffered and eventually end up as second in command over Egypt. All this suffering has enabled him to save his own family from famine.

Bryan Mills likewise, his occupation in the movie whom he term as "preventer", he works for the government, I believe he is involve in some special operatives. This career had cost him his marriage. Yet it was this set of skills that he had acquired in his occupation that had enabled him to utilise and ultimately rescue Kim.

This movie reminded me of my very own Jesus. He went through so much suffering, just to rescue me from sin. Jesus went to the cross, that is more than enough to show me how much He loved me. That very act, has brought me closer to the Father.

I have wanted to post this song sometime ago. Well it spoke back then. Guess this is the more appropriate period. title of the song; "I will be there". What a beautiful title. Where ever we are, which ever state we are in (joy or sorrow), He will always be there to uplift us and to love us. In the movie Taken, no matter where Kim is her Father Bryan risk everything just to be there at the precise moment to rescue his beloved daughter.

Jesus thank you for rescuing me.
