Till He Returns or Calls Me Home

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I notice it all, all of the details of you, and I love each one.

Daily Haiku on Love by Tyler Knott Gregson (via tylerknott)

[eugcho]

I've learned that love means being the best version of me for you in the little things and big. Love is my continual learning and fighting for what it means to be a man. Love is the quiet and voiceless words that don't reprimand for my many shortcomings and mistakes.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for. It doesn’t interest me how old you are, I want to know if you are willing to risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine. It doesn’t interest me where you live or how rich you are, I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and be sweet to the ones you love. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments of your life.

Jon Blais (via eugcho)

That feeling of having something so good you want to keep it to yourself. Like a secret that only you know. When you left I didn't want to share it with anyone. Because people didn't deserve to know how great it was having you around. How great it was to love you.

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

In the deepest parts of me I still believe my life is my own.

"I’m looking for someone to accept me for who I am, and not try and change me. So then, why are you getting married? And the only answer I can think of is, it’s to supplement me, to enhance my life. I’m fine the way I am, I don’t want anyone to change me, but I want companionship, romance, added income, and things like that, because I don’t want to be changed. The bible says that romance, companionship, and partnership are all extremely important but they will be far more enhanced, if you begin with this admission: you are not fine as you are, you are flawed, you are no where close to being the person God created you to be. When you understand that, then you begin to recognize what God says the purpose of marriage is, and therefore what your spouse came into your life to do. What you want is a person who understands what God is doing in your life…Christian marriage, is a unique form of Christian fellowship. What you need in your life is someone who says, I love you and I am excited to see what God is doing in your life, I want to partner with Christ in helping you grow in grace, and I want you to partner with Christ for the same thing in my life. So that someday when we stand before the throne, and all of our sins and flaws have fallen off, we will finally be the persons that Christ wanted us to be and we will look at each other and say, “I always knew you could be like this.” Timothy Keller//Marriage In Christ

“What is the meaning of marriage? Paul in Ephesians, quotes the old testament, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife (Genesis 2:24).” Older English translations say, a man will leave his father and mother and “cleave” to his wife. The Hebrew word there means covenant. Covenant means a deep, exclusive, permanent, legal and personal, binding commitment. So the essence of marriage is not a declaration of present love, as important as that is. To say “I love you,” is not marriage, because you can say that and not be married. Marriage is not so much the declaration of present love, it’s the binding promise of future love. It’s a promise not to feel warm and loving all the time, because nobody can promise that. It’s a promise to be loving, tender, faithful, cherishing, and serving, regardless of the ups and downs of emotions or circumstances through thick and thin. That’s the essence of marriage, its a covenant."

Timothy Keller//Marriage In Christ
