About This Quote
Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust. Love is not only a powerful gift given to us by God but also a gift that we can give to others. However, this gift needs proper understanding and maintenance. It is not an easy thing and it needs to be kept in check for it to remain strong and healthy.
If we do not nurture our love for one another, our love might change into hate and we will find ourselves in a hopeless situation. We must learn how to respect each other and treat each other with the same consideration that we would like to receive from others. This is the most important step towards the growth of our love for one another.
