Pursuit

[LightningClap0002]

A friend just shared this poem/blog with me. Though it may be directed more towards women, I think there is great value in it for men also.

I Will Never Pursue You | ARABY

Or for those who don't want to read it:
...
I’ll stick to the part that I know -
and that is to keep my heart pure.
So pure
That when love finally finds me
I’ll know that what I have is divine.
My part is to trust God,
to fix my eyes on Him,
to acknowledge His sovereignty in all my life’s areas
I don’t want human hands
Not mine.
Not yours.
I want the only Hands that matter –
His.
That as I wait, He’ll be my only delight
my singular motive,
my one true purpose;
for His will and His person
to become my life's utmost concern.
I’ll never pursue you or anyone else.
I’ll pursue the One
...

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness..." and all the other stuff will fall in place. Good poem.

I like this part also:


“If anything, maybe I can write these things about you in secret
for now
then just tell you everything (laughingly) in the future.
Plenty of time to bide,
to strive,
to try to improve myself,
become a better woman.
But one thing I’ll never do is pursue you.
I’ll never do the pursuing
the making way
the courting
the getting to know
And the trying to be close to you part.
Because it’s not my part.

…

Until then, I may find myself liking you too much,
but I will never pursue you.”
