"but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. against such things there is no law."

leurrer :: to delude
for those who don't know the story of jane eyre, jane's a poor orphan child, poor but exceptionally bright and clever. she's a governess and she's fallen in love with her employer, who she thinks is about to get engaged to this beautiful lady who's everything she's not. blah blah blah...
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, chapter 22, pg 277
"One thing specially surprised me, and that was, there were no journeyings backward and forward, no visits to Ingram Park: to be sure it was twenty miles off, on the borders of another county; but what was that distance to an ardent lover? To so practised and indefatigable a horseman as Mr Rochester, it would be but a morning's ride. I began to cherish hopes I had no right to conceive: that one or both parties had changed their minds. I used to look at my master's face to see if it were sad or fierce; but I could not remember the time when it had been so uniformly clear of clouds or evil feelings. If, in the moments I and my pupil spent with him, I lacked spirits and sank into inevitable dejection, he became even gay. Never had he called me more frequently to his presence; never been kinder to me when there - and, alas! never had I loved him so well."
i had the end of this quote stuck in my head today, well not really, i just remembered a bit of it. you know when you vaguely remember something? and the more you try to remember it, the more it eludes you? yeah, that was me today. |

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
