When the Spirit works, you can't stop it. You can't even deny it.
Your words don't feel like your own, but they're flowing out like living water. Bringing with it life, hope, and peace.
You see all lights fading out and leaving only one. The everlasting light of God.
When you experience it, you just know it can't be from this world.
A God so great. A love so real.
This is my reality.
How You make my heart flutter, oh God! :)
"The idea that 'being in love' is the only reason for remaining married really leaves no room for marriage as a contract or promise at all. If love is the whole thing, then the promise can add nothing; and if it adds nothing, then it should not be made...
...And of course, the promise, made when i am in love and because i am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as i live, commits me to being true even if i cease to be in love. A promise must be about things that I can do, about actions: no one can promise go on feeling in a certain way. He might as well promise never to have a headache or always to feel hungry...
...but of course, ceasing to be 'in love' need not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second sense --love as distinct from 'being in love'-- is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other, as you love yoursekf when you do not like yourself. They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be 'in love' with someone else. Being in love first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it. "

When there's a physical hunger you naturally look for something to satisfy it. You may eat almost any food because at that moment, it is enough as long as it fills ur stomach. U may not end up eating food that benefits ur body in the long run. But at the time, it doesnt really matter.
Then what happens when there's spiritual hunger? A desire in the spirit for something. Maybe it's love or security or acceptance or a sort of high. U may end up looking for it in a romantic relationship, material wealth, gossip, public attention, sexual arousals etc. It may satisfy u n u'll come back looking for it again the second time. But it gives ur spirit no lasting benefits.
God built in us that desire n only God alone can satisfy it.
Take in the things that feed ur spirit the best when u are hungry. Let it stay n brew in u and u'll experience the difference that it brings. The difference that no worldly thing can make.
