Abuse Quote by Lebo Grand
““You were meant to first be subjected to the limitations of the flesh or the experience of NOT knowing what sensuality feels like [that’s why some of us at some point had to be alcoholics, some promiscuous, some rebellious, some married and then later divorced, some abused, some lied to, some cheated on and taken for granted, some abandoned] so that we would be able to know what sensuality DOES NOT feel like and then be delivered from that bondage of decay (or ignorance) into the liberty of knowing what sensuality really feels like.””
