"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." ~Psalm 73:26

Flattery desires some sort of return. It wants a return of compliment, or it wants an attraction increased, or it wants a simple solution to an awkward situation.

A selfless love, a compliment, never flatters, because while it may search for a return, it will not demand or require it. A pure love does not set traps of expectation. A real love seeks the good in someone, instead of relying on invention or inflation. A selfless love is content desiring that the Loved One knows they are noticed, valuable, Loved. A real love does not require reciprocation to be complete, to be worthwhile.

Countless

How many miracles have you seen, Christian? How many perfections from God have you seen, and yet you don't trust His direction? His path? His plan? How can you still doubt?
