Verse of the day
Proverbs 5:18 (KJV)
Reflection
You've walked down paths where your choices leave a mark. You've felt the weight of what's fleeting, the pull of what's temporary.
But hold up a sec, and listen to that old-school call of your heart: there ain't no treasure more precious, no joy more real, than the sacred connection with the person who's been by your side since the beginning of your story. Proverbs 5:18 ain't just a verse, it's an echo that rings deep in your soul, a revelation just for you:
“May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.”
The Silent Pact of Your Youth
With every beat of your heart, you've built invisible bonds. She hasn't just been watching your journey, she's been walking with you on that pilgrimage, a witness to your laughter, a confidante of your fears, a partner in your battles.
- Remember those first moments when your eyes sparkled for that new world?
- Do you relive that tenderness where those first promises were sealed in holy fire?
It's time to wake up from an existential daze and re-appreciate that first flame that united you as one. “Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I will not forget you!” - Isaiah 49:15
. Just like a God who doesn't forget their kids, you shouldn't let that blessing that's come into your life fade away.
Picture this: Imagine an oasis in the middle of the most arid desert. In the midst of exhaustion and uncertainty, a spring of clear water appears where you can refresh your steps. That same water is what you're called to live in the person of your wife. It's with her where the fullness you crave awaits you “Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.” - Proverbs 5:15. Let that wellspring bring forth more streams of love each day, renewing that source where the connection never loses its freshness.
In the middle of the daily chaos, take a moment and say these words to your wife: "my most precious treasure." Because a wise person is able to nurture the feelings that have been there since the beginning of their lives.
Take action today:
Nourish that unbreakable pact like a gardener cares for their flowers.
Celebrate that life by her side.
Honor the treasure that God has entrusted to you.
There's no earthly satisfaction that matches the heavenly gift of a relationship forged in purity and guided by the hand of our creator: "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord." - Proverbs 18:22.
Because she is that fountain of living water that quenches the thirst of the soul with joy.
Bless her with joy and renew that love with her.
Don't look any further, you already have that treasure:
Rejoice today and always:
Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your fleeting life that he has given you under the sun
, says the Wise One: Ecclesiastes 9:9.
