fortifies us for any difficulty
Nothing better than being in the thick of wedding season with her as my date.
(the Tim Keller quote I read when officiating)
To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial.
Tim Keller – The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God
To be known and not loved is our greatest fear.
But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.
It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.
