“The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves. Men, in particular, often don’t understand this.

Your eyes, your ears, your time, your attention, your presence, your focus”

You don’t have to always be “in charge.” The Bible says, “Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him.”
