People who are obsessed with Jesus give freely and openly without censure. Obsessed people love those who hate them and who can never love them back.
Francis ChanRead
Those who love others _x000D_ grandly are those who love themselves grandly. Those who have a high _x000D_ toleration and acceptance of others are those who have a high _x000D_ toleration and acceptance of themselves. You cannot show another a part _x000D_ of you that you cannot show yourself. Therefore, begin where all _x000D_ growth, where all evolution, where all love must begin; with the person _x000D_ in the mirror.

It's all possible but neither of us speaks for a long time and the moment closes and we're back in the world we've always known.
