Jane Austen’s Persuasion
Captain Wentworth’s letter to Anne Elliot:

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in
F. W.
I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening or never.

Prologue

Jesus walked this earth with peace in His mind and heart, always. He was never in a hurry nor tried to postpone what He needed to do. He talked and walked this earth with grace, always trusting the Father for every single thing. Even when He faced death, He said, “Thy will be done.”

My prayer is to do the same this year and for the rest of my days. I’ve messed up a lot, and no doubt, will mess up again. But my prayer is for God to, by His grace, enable me to submit and to surrender each and every single thing in my life, to love and to live Christ more, and to truly walk and talk Jesus with everything I’ve got.

"Young, Restless, and Reformed" Movement

I’m not much familiar with the Reformed/Reformation Movement. But I’m definitely Young, and most times, Restless regarding just about every aspect in my life right now.

I find this article very encouraging. It mainly talks about where to place one’s time and energy in this particular season in life, the young adulthood stage, which, according to many developmental psychologists, the peak of one’s strength and vitality.

I would love to talk more about that but Pastor John MacArthur, the author of the article, explains it way better than I do. Hope it encourages you too. Read on.
