Being true to yourself Quote by Geraldine Vermaak
“We all want true love but missing the most important aspect it's foundation is rooted in. The TRUTH! If we cannot live by the truth, or be completely truthful with ourselves and others, don't expect love to be truthful to you. With the unfaithful it will show itself unfaithful. To the merciful love will show itself merciful. To the blameless love will show itself blameless. To the pure love will show itself pure. But to the devious love will show itself shrewd. Love will save the humble and bring down the haughty. Because LOVE is GOD, and GOD is LOVE. We ought to become truthful within ourselves first in love, before we seek it in another. Lest we be dragged along by it's tide in a half-dragged uncomfortable manner.”
