Day to day Quote by Geraldine Vermaak
“You have to be love to receive love, until you're not, people in your day to day relationships, will act as sharpening tools until you become the perfect recipient for love, like the good ol' BOOK says in proverbs : iron sharpens iron, so does one man another. So, be the love you want to have. Remember ; you cannot give what you don't have, and you cannot receive what you're not ready or prepared for, perfect gifts come only from above with courtesy from love.”
