Dearest to my heart, dearest to everything I hold true is the joy of sharing a lifetime with that special someone created and chosen especially for you.
The thought of two people walking together side by side and cleaving to one another for life is a love story captured in a
“Painting of a thousand words”,
A portrait passed and hung on the walls of the generations for their reminder of the heart of God depicted on canvas,
18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 5:18 NIV
We’ve all been alone some time in our life.
In our “aloneness”, surely there’s been that longing for someone to share our hopes with, someone to share our dreams.
In our “aloneness”, surely there’s been that longing for a shoulder to cry on, someone to dry our tears.
In our “aloneness”, surely we didn’t want to be alone forever.
Even God himself said,
18 “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Genesis 2:18 NIV
The first love story ever written,
God took the man’s rib and formed his soul mate for which the man called her “bone of his bone”. (Genesis 2:23 NIV)
22Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. Genesis 2:22 NIV
In whose purpose is to protect one’s delicate heart, a beautiful love story written in the smallest of details when God chose a rib to complete the “aloneness” of a man.
Walking together side by side “for whatever comes their way”,
Carrying with them their
“Painting of a thousand words”,
Cleaving to one another and unearthing the hidden treasure of God’s heart revealed from their life together “one step at a time”,
18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 5:18 NIV
Love stories are inspired words authored and written on paper.
Love stories are the overflow of one’s heart, spilling onto the pages of that soulmate we cling to.
Love stories come to life and can be read “between the lines” of a smile.
Love stories can be witnessed in the carefree spirit of the
“Wife of Your Youth.”
Love stories face each other as they face their future together,
For whatever comes their way,
For better or worse.
Remembering that nothing can stand between,
nor tear apart,
or come against,
two people united in love.
Especially when your love story is depicted in a
“Portrait of a thousand words”,
A love story inspired and written by God.
