“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, …” Matthew 13:45a ESV1
Read Matthew 13:45-46
I am more of a realist than a romantic. I prefer to read non-fiction over fiction. I would rather watch action/adventure movies than dramas. But there is something about a classic love story that touches my heart. When a man of princely character slays a dragon of a problem to help a damsel in distress, I can’t help but be fascinated. When a man, worthy to be called noble, falls in love with a struggling woman and makes her his bride, thus, lifting her from her negative circumstances, I am inspired by selfless love. When true love breaks through all barriers to bring new life into a hopeless situation, I find myself overwhelmed with emotion.
