Prayer of the Day

Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking the deep and abiding peace that only You can provide. In moments of turmoil and uncertainty, I trust in Your promises and the beauty of stillness found in Your presence. Help me to embrace gratitude and share Your peace with those around me, as I meditate on Your Word and find tranquility in my heart.

Guide me in overcoming the obstacles that threaten my peace and help me to commit to a lifelong journey of serenity. May Your love and grace fill my spirit as I walk this path with You, and may I always return to the wellspring of Your peace. AMEN.

Abide in My Love

9 As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be made full. 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another even as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all the things which I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you. 17 These things I command you that you may love one another. — John 15:9-17 | Recovery Version (REC) The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible © 2016 Living Stream Ministry.

Why is there no greater love than to lay down your life?

Love is not a feeling, but a connection, a bond, and an abiding presence.

dating in-system

dating in-system…. has its pros and cons

like it’s easy to feel like our love is invisible, especially to others. we get seen by the world as a solitary person. i can’t share the best parts of our life with most people. i can’t take selfies of us or make instagram posts or celebrate our love in the thousand casual ways that the couples around us do; there’s no common parlance for what we are but i want tooo because i swear my life is full of so much love and looking at us from the outside you simply don’t see into the experience of Being This Entity

thankfully art exists ^^ {and tumblr}

like i mean this is all the time. if we’re eating, walking to the store, standing around talking casually.. there’s always another dialogue going on

we've been traveling around italy having an invisibly romantic time
