choice

I am forever betrothed to God. United and bonded to hope. Grafted into rest. Destined for glory. Love changes. The longer I walk with God, the longer I am betrothed to Him, the more I understand discovery of the unknown. Each passing year reveals an expression of God and depth of life that I could not have known without the journey. That journey is made possible by the commitment of Him to me and me to Him. As long as I don't give up this journey will continue to bring new life.

My wife and I have been married for nearly 13 years, our love has changed over the years, it is not the same as it was in the beginning. It is deeper, different, more rewarding, more secure, and less busy. I am completed with her companionship. I am stronger and better with her by my side. But it is the result of a choice to weather the storms of life with her even if she is storms cause. There is no victory in surrender. The sweetness of this life we share is birthed through trial and tribulation. I imagine the same to be true with God. The journey of life is one where commitment must prevail. He is committed to me and I to Him and that is enough to endure it all.
