Absence makes the Heart grow Fonder

Meaning

The lack of something increases the desire for it.

Origin

The Roman poet Sextus Propertius gave us the earliest form of this saying in Elegies:

"Always toward absent lovers love's tide stronger flows."

The contemporary version appears first as the title of an anonymous English poem in 1602. It wasn't until the 19th century that the phrase began to be used more widely, with Thomas Haynes Bayly's (1797-1839) song Isle of Beauty, published posthumously in 1850:

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Isle of Beauty, Fare thee well!"

思念, 是一种等待的感觉. 这感觉在呼吸的时候, 原来是会痛的.

True Beauty

In 1 Peter 3, Apostle Peter speaks of beauty of a woman.

".... it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." - 1 Peter 3:4

Learn to see the way God sees, and adapt the way God looks at the world. In Him, we guys will be able to find the true beauty that we've been looking for! haha
