#abiding
It is not the bee's touching of the flower that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time upon the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.

Always Ready
When God brings needy people across my path, He has done this so that I can give them something substantial—something eternally significant.

dating in-system
dating in-system…. has its pros and cons
like it’s easy to feel like our love is invisible, especially to others. we get seen by the world as a solitary person. i can’t share the best parts of our life with most people. i can’t take selfies of us or make instagram posts or celebrate our love in the thousand casual ways that the couples around us do; there’s no common parlance for what we are but i want tooo because i swear my life is full of so much love and looking at us from the outside you simply don’t see into the experience of Being This Entity
thankfully art exists ^^ {and tumblr}

like i mean this is all the time. if we’re eating, walking to the store, standing around talking casually.. there’s always another dialogue going on

"...Such heroes and adventure offer a great model with which the reader can form his soul according to virtue. And a clear mark of virtue is a love for the home. Nevertheless, the human desire for a heroic adventure can result in the home becoming a place to which we are either traveling or leaving, as opposed to abiding." - Mark Botts, from 'Homework: "Not unbecoming men who strove with gods."' (Forma Journal, Issue 19)

Ever abiding
““I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in…

Are we giving more attention to the gathering than our abiding?
If so, we may have it backward.

New Creations in Christ
This means that our knowledge of men can no longer be based on their outward lives (indeed, even though we knew Christ as a man we do not know him like that any longer). For if a man is in Christ he becomes a new person altogether—the past is finished and gone, everything has become fresh and new. All this is God’s doing, for he has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ; and he has made us agents of the reconciliation. God was in Christ personally reconciling the world to himself—not counting their sins against them—and has commissioned us with the message of reconciliation. We are now Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were appealing direct to you through us. As his personal representatives we say, “Make your peace with God.” For God caused Christ, who himself knew nothing of sin, actually to be sin for our sakes, so that in Christ we might be made good with the goodness of God. — 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 | J.B.

Andrew Murray On Preaching
Andrew Murray shares some insights that all pastors and preachers would do well to carefully consider.
“When the Lord chose His twelve disciples, it was ‘that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach’ (Mark 3:14). A life in fellowship with Him prepared them for the work of preaching. …  “The law of their first calling remained unchanged: their unbroken fellowship with Him was the secret of their power to preach and to testify of Him. …  “The same principle stands for all…
