“I don’t like the term “falling in love.” When you fall, it’s a mistake that leaves you embarrassed or hurt or both. When you fall, you eventually get back up and they call the getting up “falling out of love” So I don’t want either. I want to grow in love instead. Loving you feels nothing like falling—it feels a lot more like blooming. The reaching of a flower for the sun; the reaching of my hand for yours.”
Jesus loves us when we are at our worst. When we are in our darkest moments. When we are feeling the most lost. The thing is, He isn’t obligated to love us. He really doesn’t have to. But, He does—willingly, completely, and by His own desire.
yes, you should be kind. you should be considerate and giving and caring and loving and nice to everyone you meet. however, when it gets to a point that people are not reciprocating your generousity and are taking advantage of your sweetness, you no longer have to treat them kindly. you can be a good person and say no to people doing you wrong. you should be kind, but you also should stick up for yourself in situations of injustice.
