True love is inconvenient. It is costly. It is not deterred, regardless of a recipient’s response, or lack thereof.

True love is self-sacrificing.  It only has the very best of the beloved in mind – at any price.

True love is pure.  It does not have hidden motives.  Its intention is simply to give – freely.

True love only comes from the heart of GOD. It gives us a glimpse of glory.

Today’s breakfast “psalm” helps me remember the source of true love, drawing gratefulness from my heart: 🌿
