For anyone my family and I encounter:
I don't want your "Thank You." All I ever want is your enjoyment of our being together without hypocrisy. Sharing God's blessings without pretense nor envy.
I don't want your "praises". All I want is your honesty on things that you utter, whether it's good or bad but all meant for my well-being.
I don't want you "talking about God". All I want is to see you act on the Words you know.
I don't want you to say "I love you". All I want is to feel how strongly and unconditionally you love me, whether we are going through good or bad times in this life's journey.
It is difficult to interact with hypocrisy. So different than the real thing, love, that frees us and allows the real us, the genuine us to emerge. It is hard to learn proper love when those old not-so-loving patterns crop up. Praise God for Jesus and His teachings that renew our minds if we are willing. Wishing you the very best, my friend, and sending hugs and prayers as always on our journey together.
