About This Quote

If you have a friend that you want to enjoy a sense of pleasure with but they can’t give you a taste of pleasure, then you have to give them a taste of pleasure. You have to serve them and provide for them. What is the purpose of being together? God is the only one who provides for our needs and desires. He knows exactly what you need and wants as well as what is best for your life. He knows if you don’t have what is best for your life.
