Love is Red

Candle lit dinners, red roses, dark, silent, just the right atmosphere, shimmery dress, heavy make-up, light food, light laughter, he leans in, I lean in…

My mind wonders, this love, is it a verb, a pronoun, or a noun? Is it alive, someone’s name perhaps? Maybe a character in one of Shakespeare’s masterpiece?

Is love sex, passionate and intimate? Or a feeling of satisfaction? Is it a color? Is it tangible or edible?

By this I know love, that He laid His life down for me, so I ought to lay my life down for others.

Now Love is this; sacrificial, selfless, humble, esteeming others above yourself, submitting to the lowly, giving, even that which you want, even to death if it may, look upon your executer, and forgive

Thoughts

As You Wait…

Trust in the Lord and do good,

Dwell in His presence and enjoy His word,

Take delight in the Lord,

He will fulfill you,

Commit your ways, emotions, and desires to the Lord,

Trust in Him and He will do this:

He will make your reward shine like the dawn,

Your knight in shining armor like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord,

Wait patiently for Him;

Don’t fret when everyone else gets married before you,

Using manipulation and wicked schemes…
