Beauty at its finest.


This is who I long for:

Romance


Were I some sleeping adam, to awake and find you resting at my rib, to share these things that God has done, to walk you through the garden, to counsel your timid steps, your bewildered eye, your heart so slow to love, so careful to love, so sheepish that I stepped up my aim and became a man, is this what God intended? That though He made you from my rib, it is you making me, humbling me, destroying me, and in so doing, revealing Him.

God did not design us to be alone. For me to be alone. But lets be honest, this blog ends up really speaking to me, teaching me, and guiding me. Tonight, I was alone. I have moments of loneliness and it's like a brick wall slowing building up where I can't see the horizon. Horizon of endless possibilities.

Lets talk about love. I know I've experienced love--Love from my parents, my closest friends, and the Fathers love. I know that love brings a depth of intimacy, a longing, a desire to be desirable. But, I think I'm not sure what Love between man and woman feels like. And that's whats lonely. I believe I have been close to being in love and that's what makes me sad. So close, but no risk taking. Love is all about Risk.
Whoever you may be, Simply take a risk. I know its scary, or you've been hurt, or I might be better looking than you, but lets be gifts to each other.

God risked Himself on me. I will risk myself on you. And together, we will learn to love, and perhaps then, and only then, understand this gravity that drew Him, unto us.

I love you.
