The day that Kristen was the most attractive…

It wasn’t the day I first saw her in my office building (though she was beautiful).
It wasn’t our wedding day (though she looked amazing).
It wasn’t the days she birthed our two children (though those were indescribable beauty).
It wasn’t the night we went out a few years ago and she wore that gorgeous black dress.
It wasn’t in that new outfit she got recently (though it was pretty nice).
It wasn’t seeing her in the low light of the sunset at the beach (though she was glowing).

It was a random afternoon. She came walking into my study after working out. She was wearing sweaty sports clothes and running shoes. Her hair was a little frizzy and matted at the same time. She was still breathing hard.

She stood in the doorway and said, “You know that check that you got from the church for speaking last Sunday?… I think we should tear it up and give it back.”

That was the day that Kristen was the most attractive I have ever seen her.

There is nothing more attractive than seeing her give up something for the sake of the gospel. There is nothing more attractive than seeing her be generous. There is nothing more attractive than seeing her be kingdom-minded. There is nothing more attractive than seeing her care about a little church plant. There is nothing more attractive than seeing her care more about Jesus’ fame than her comfort.

That was the day that Kristen was the most attractive I have ever seen her.
