“Parenthood requires love, not DNA.”
.
✨We prayed for her for YEARS before we ever saw her face.
✨We loved her long before we knew her.
✨We loved her knowing she would not look like us.
✨We stepped in the middle of a battle and fought for her.
✨We loved her even when she didn’t love us in return.
.
People often say love isn’t enough.
.
I don’t think those people understand what love truly is.
.
Love is NOT a feeling.
Love is NOT boastful.
Love is NOT proud.
Love is NOT self-serving.
Love is NOT quick to condemn.
Love is NOT bitter.
Love is NOT fleeting.
.
Love IS action.
Love IS sacrifice.
Love IS humility.
Love IS patience.
Love IS service.
Love IS selflessness.
Love IS forgiveness.
Love IS the only thing powerful enough to change a heart completely.
.
If we truly want to change the world, it must begin with love.
.
If we don’t start there, our efforts will be fruitless.
.
Tell me below 👇🏼 one thing you can do TODAY to start showing real love to those around you. I’ll get us started!
