“We might not know what the future holds but you should know that no matter what happens, you already have this special place in my heart. And I want you to know that even if we end up being together or not, that spot is yours—forever.” Before it hits a decade, I just want to emphasize these last few lines from Maine’s anniversary message for Alden because they’re truly beautiful. Filled with a kind of love that can’t be broken, not even by the end of time. It’s like when she said it, it wasn’t

Your love drives what you do. Don’t be so focused on not sinning or not doing something, but if you would just put all your attention and all your energy into growing your love for God, he will teach you how to fight, & flee and you’ll become so consumed by his love that those desires that you had will fall off of you slowly. The Lord is so good ugh ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
