Quote by Marie Monville

“On this side of heaven, for all of us, God doesn't always spare us the loneliness, remove the pain, or still the storm. So I ask you: How often do we miss his light because we fail to look for it? How many times do we turn away from the tiny flicker that reveals his presence because we shut our eyes tight, insisting that he remove the darkness?”

“there are things he holds close, in the awake, in the lucid, things he feels, but he fears how they might fall out so helpless, so unarmed, so defenseless… and god, how those walls can make me question. but then he dreams with an open chest, and he tells me of what he’s sure of, and that i can let my head rest, ‘cause this isn’t a small love, and that most times it feels like too much love, and so sometimes… he’s just afraid. so my fears… they just fall quiet with the way he speaks to me in his sleep. he may have a hardened chest in the wake light, but there are flowers in the moonlight, and when his fears fall quiet… there are all these things he feels when his defenses are down.”

“love languages… blood + fire… the wild. the passionate. the visceral things that burn in your veins, that bite at your senses, that give you a pulse sugar + flowers… the sweet. the soft. the vulnerable things that tender the walls and break your heart open love + soul… the deep. the true. the heart. the lungs. the breathing. the wings. the free… the things you ache for… and the ones that ache back magic + stars… the infinite. the destined. the things you feel beyond words, beyond bodies, beyond… before… after… always.”

“Live the love story! Fall into the embrace of forgiveness. Hide in the shelter of his wings. Step inside the wall of grace. Live in the expectancy of seeing him at work. Leap into his mysterious will. Receive the gift of love. Be released to respond to his call. Tell the world your love story. And when again the lights go out, you too will see that one light still shines.”
