Quotes

    You fuel your heart with six things: what you watch, what you read, what you listen to, who you surround yourself with, how you talk to yourself, and what you visualize.

You can’t do anything to make Him love you any more, and you can’t do anything to make Him love you any less. Therefore, you are free to accept His love, love Him back, love yourself, and finally be freed to love others with no strings attached.
