Jesus: You can't marry Paul.
Melisa: But I love him.
Jesus: Well, I shouldn't say you can't because you can, but you shouldn't. It's just not my desire for you, Melissa.
Melisa: But I love him.
Jesus: Melissa, you have a very tender heart. How many guys have you fallen in love with since you were 16?
Melisa: But he loves me too.
Jesus: Melissa, it's just not my will for a couple to be unequally matched. Paul doesn't believe in me.
Melisa: What if we got married and I made it my mission to save him? I could do that.
Jesus: Melissa, do you love him? Do you really love him?
Melisa: Yes, I do.
Jesus: Who do you think loves him more, you or me?
Melisa: You do, obviously, but Melissa, Paul doesn't feel about you the same way you feel about him.
Jesus: He hates his assignment up in Winnemucca. He's lonely. And right now, he thinks that you're exactly what he needs. But two years from now, when you're back in L.A., he's gonna want something more,
something you can't give him. He's gonna grow to resent you. And you know what he's going to resent most about you? Your faith in me. That will still be the biggest difference between the two of you. So instead of being the instrument that draws him to me, you'll actually cause him to turn the other way. Melissa, isn't it more important that he loves me than loves you?
Melisa: Will he believe in you?
Jesus: In time, yeah, he will.
Melisa: Well, then maybe then we could--
Melissa, I promise you by then you won't even want to entertain the possibility.
Jesus: Remember, I have many wonderful things in store for you.
