God loves me

He really loves me

[drowning-in-melancholy]

Heaven's prism

I have so much

of you in my heart

and I don't even know you

really

but I'm attached to you

you -

who my fractured mind

made up

but the real

you -

that I'm still craving

separated by

the absence of

red strings of fate

since I don't exist

in your world

no color

in

heaven's prism

on my sundered sky

there's no more wishes

on dead stars tonight

and your hand will never

find mine

but still-

your dark side and mine

collide

so shall we dance forever

in the apathy

of my mind

my love?

When the Bible Didn’t Ask, “So… Are You Seeing Anyone?”

There are many good ways to live a faithful life. Marriage is one of them. Scripture never denies this. But it also never insists that it is the only place where love, meaning, or holiness can take root. Paul, writing with pastoral care rather than pressure, speaks to those who are unmarried with an unexpected gentleness: “I would like you to be free from concern… the unmarried person is concerned about the Lord’s affairs, how to please the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:32, NIV). In The Message, the tone feels almost conversational: “I want you to live as free of complications as possible” (1 Corinthians 7:32, MSG). Not better. Not worse. Free.

Mary of Bethany lives inside this freedom. According to the Gospels,  “Mary sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said” (Luke 10:39, NIV). When this choice is questioned, Jesus does not redirect her toward something more practical or more respectable. He simply says, “Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42, NIV). Her life is not defined by what she lacks, but by what she leans toward: presence, learning, intimacy with God, all held within the context of friendship and shared life.

Lydia’s story widens the frame even further. She is named by her work before anything else: “a dealer in purple cloth” (Acts 16:14, NIV). A businesswoman, a woman of means. Resourceful. No husband appears in her story. What does appear is her openness. “The Lord opened her heart”, and then her home. “She invited us to her house” (Acts 16:15, NIV). Community gathers because Lydia makes space. There is no romance in Lydia's story; rather, it unfolds into a sense of belonging.

And even in stories where marriage arrives, Scripture is careful about what it centers. In Ruth, the most famous vow is not spoken across an altar, but along a road between two women. “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God” (Ruth 1:16, NIV). This is the language of chosen family, of love and loyalty freely given. Long before Ruth’s story includes romance, it already holds fullness.

The Bible seems to whisper what our culture often forgets: a life rooted in God and woven into community is not unfinished. It is already whole.

“You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.”

To love someone is much more than merely to have an interest in them. I might be interested in you only because you have something I need, and I might seek you out just because you can fulfill some practical function for me. But love is not practical. I do not love you because of something you do for me or because of something I can get from you.

My love is based on something beyond what you do or what you have. Its foundation is the beauty of your being — a unique beauty that only you have. This beauty is not limited to your physical form. It includes everything beautiful in the totality of your being, everything from the way you smell in the morning, to the kinds of jokes you tell, to the way you say the word “butterfly”. It includes all of these things and it is also always more than I or anyone else can describe. I see your beauty and I cannot ignore it. I can only answer it with love.

Joel

Since your soul is evidently devoid of empathy for me. I wish you would make an honest woman out of someone, don't use women, get a hold of your gaming addiction, and really just deal with the darkness within. It's not who you are. I even hope you find god.

I'm broken by the fact that I've had such a hard time moving on. I hope no other woman has to go through this. Don't awaken another woman's love if you have no intent to keep it, nurture it, and glorify in it. Don't even lie with them if it doesn’t mean anything to you. You shut me out, for whatever reason, and you treated me with disdain.

The difference is. I would still wish and harbor grace and love for you. I haven't even thought of being with anyone else since us, coz our connection meant that much to me. People are not just bodies. Empathy is free.

Love always.

Everybody has one thing that ultimately owns them, drives them, controls them at some visceral level.

It’s the pattern that everything else is rooted in; it’s the issue that crops up again and again. What owns you in this life makes up the majority of what you do, so you need to know what it is. It’s usually not about freeing yourself from these ties that bind you, but learning to wield them for a greater purpose. Finding the shard of empathy and hope and understanding, tucked deeply within your existential suffering. There is a purpose to all things. Your job is not to understand why, but just to find it in the first place.
