2014

I see you in your room, looking at holy Words. You disbelieve the promises because a voice tells you the scarred and broken don't deserve a second chance. You think good men come from a high and holy sphere, beyond the reach of the crumb-eaters and robe-grabers. But you've forgotten something.. Good men are good by Grace alone.

Dear girl, good men aren't good because of what they've personally achieved. They are good because they are grateful for Grace. Because they understand the depth and height and breadth of the love they have received, they strive to live that love as the men God made them to be. In loving you, God's man will reveal God's grace. 

It may take time, meeting God's man. You have to choose trust instead of hopelessness. It's this testing period we call singleness- a trial, really, that only becomes a gift when we see the strength God's given us through dependence on Him. God isn't using your past as His outline for your future- and neither should you.

Dear girl, a good man will still want you, no matter what you've done. He won't want you because of your past or in spite of it. He'll want you because you're God's woman; the kind of woman whose attachment to Grace echoes his own. He won't be looking for you to prove yourself. He'll be looking for a hand to hold in this walk toward eternity.

Because to him, your love is the favor he didn't deserve. - x

2015
Because your love is a confession of your character, let the people who you love tell the world who you are. And even if and when those people cannot return that love in the same way, let it speak of the beauty and the resilience of your soul. And last but certainly not least, let your love be the most spectacular thing about your life.
