Utter stillness.  Perfection—this moonlit, misty night.  Cloaking the cool, damp air is the sensuous and delicate scent of honeysuckle. 

Tears still delicately glean upon the leaves.

His love is deep—so infinitely flawless and such a mysterious reality.

~~Tears~~

Oh Jesus.  I love You more than life itself.  Be it pain, hurt or devastation—wild, blind love for You makes every sacrifice worth even an ounce of pleasure upon Your face.  Broken is my heart.  Be it broken for You.

~My sacrifice~

Jesus

I’m Yours

Sacrifice

The heartbreaking perfection of one giving their life for another every waking minute-with no regard to the personal ache.

Trancendence

It is this love that transcends the bonds of mortality and awakens within a deep desire for holiness-a perfect, ethereal, rapturous holiness of love.

“God grant that we may learn to love as thus…”
