We can't force our love on anyone. That wouldn't be love. Love must be freely given and freely received. We can love someone from a distance and wish the best for them. Pray 🙏 for them. But we have to respect them

There are conditions to love. A structure to love. Love isn't necessarily having the floodgates wide open. It's directed and focused. The conditions have to be right.

We have to sense what the other needs. Not just give them what we feel like giving them. What they may need from us is space. Freedom. But maybe they need support. But not too much. Maybe they need encouragement.

Love is patient and kind. Love bears all things and believes all things. Love never dies.
