True and Lasting!

True and lasting Love requires the gift of self! This is the difference between true friendship and self friendship! It requires closeness, affection, and mutual encouragement, but also distance, space to grow, freedom to be different and solitude! God must be part of the  relationship- He is the Center, providing Balance, Stability, Wisdom and Grace! We think of God First, the other second, and then ourselves! This also presupposes we Love ourselves since we must Love others AS we Love ourself! This attitude provides the proper perspective and results in  Joy and Peace! "There is nothing that we can desire or want that we do not find in God"! He must ALWAYS be our first priority: our Creator, our Friend, our Confidant, and our Redeemer! May God give us a Spirit of Wisdom as we Love as He Loves... Unconditionally and Selflessly! Love and prayers! ✝️
