... is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all. . . . In fact, the state of being in love usually does not last. . . .But of course, ceasing to be "in love" need not mean ceasing to love. Love . . . is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the GRACE which both partners ask and receive from God. They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be "in love" with someone else. "Being in love" first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love that enables them to keep their promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.

[i think this is a new cover... una kasi yung yellow, then yung blue, yun yung meron ako.. tapos ito yung nakita ko..]
hehe.. this was the first letter in her 42nd chapter... dun sa book niya.. kala ko yun na yung last.. hehe kasi ba naman ang haba ng chapter... the chapter's title is out of love and into charity... yes. natapos ko na din yung passion and purity sa wakas!!!! nyahahahahaha! i liked what she said sa start nung chapter, A book about passion and purity ought not to end with the wedding day, for as passion does not end then, neither does purity. While purity before marriage, as Jim and I learned, consists of holding ourselves from one another in obedience to God, purity after marriage consists in giving ourselves to and for each other in obedience to God.
the book is great... ^_^ i recommend it for those who are waiting... for those who don't know what to do with their singlehood... for those who don't know whom to trust... for those who have been hurt over and over... for those who just want to be amazed at how God works out His plans... for those who needs encouragement... ^_^
Elisabeth Elliot's God-given love story with Jim Elliot was great... ^_^
the book, has many chapters... hahahaha 43 all in all.. pero maiigsi lang per chapter.. it's about patience... waiting... waiting... waiting... letters.. haha! so much letters!!! but it's great... it's like i'm listening to their love story as they obey God... ^_^
[ganto ba mag-book review? hehe]
un nga lang, medyo nakakabitin kase yung mga comments niya... or yung insights.. hehe it's just a testimony of their love story.. [parang 75 % ganun..] at how God worked in their life.. .^_^
ayun lang...^_^
