The Halfway Lovers

they want what they fail to give. They drink but they never pour. They say it but won’t show it. They discover but won’t explore. They leave you wanting more. Intimacy is limited starting and stopping at the skin. Halfway is the lover who expects you to knock but won't you let in. Half-way lover, is it true that you wish to experience love in all of its fullness? Halfway is the wrong way, sometimes the long way but you must meet love where it is at. Love remains even where there is a lack. Love may inconvenience you and interrupt the flow while you are all settled but little do you know, the water in this river has the healing to quench the thirst for your wounded vessel. Love is not a race, you don’t need to get there first, just be present. Put your whole heart in it. Immersed. Even if it all takes you back to the beginning, a whole new world, love will keep the planet spinning. 

Halfway won’t save you. There is no place halfway can take you. If  you don’t stand for something, everything will stand on you. And what you run from is what you run into. How can you give love so passively, when you once pursued love so passionately? You loved me deeply yesterday but today, you're walking right past me. Love carried you on its back, now it’s your time for the heavy lifting and it’s too much at stake. You say you can’t bare the weight of the mistakes of all the hearts you chose to break. Imagine giving what you can’t take, Halfway love is the epitome of a lack of faith. Dismissive and afraid. Halfway love is like leaving lights on in a house yet no one is home. Empty beautiful spaces, bodies with no faces. you write your love in pencil, just in case you need to erase. One hand holds, the other hand pushes away. Eventually, everything you touch will fade away. Oh, don’t curse love by loving halfway.

Thinking out loud: Kingdom Spouses

Let me just be real here, I never heard of this term until recently but this is what I gather so far. “Kingdom spouse” is a term used in the Christian community to describe a God sent union between man and woman to edify and glorify the KINGDOM of God. Hence the term: Kingdom. Essentially, two individuals who are divinely brought together to unite as one to carry out the will of God in harmony. I worded the definition myself, so it might be a little off but I hope you get my point. God certainly does align and assign people, helpmates, friends, mentors and spouses into our lives. So, I believe that although the term isn’t used in the bible, the concept is biblical but if we’re not careful the enemy can even deceive well-meaning Christians in their journey. So many prophetic words about kingdom spouses these days and I wonder if the LORD could really be speaking to someone specifically in such a general way. I’m not doubting the prophetic gift being a real thing, I’m just a skeptic. I’m...

The Virtuous Woman 💎 (Proverbs 31)

"Who can find a virtuous wife?  For her worth is far above rubies.  The heart of her husband safely trusts her;  So he will have no lack of gain.  She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.  She seeks wool and flax and willingly works with her hands.  She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.  She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household,  And a portion for her maidservants.  She considers a field and buys it;  From her profits, she plants a vineyard.  She girds herself with strength and strengthens her arms.  She perceives that her merchandise is good,  And her lamp does not go out by night.  She stretches out her hands to the distaff,  And her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor,  Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.  She is not afraid of snow for her household,  For all her household is clothed with scar...
