About This Quote
Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure. The word “love” is very powerful and the only thing that is more powerful than love is God. Love without God will give you pain and suffering and not happiness.
Our body cannot survive without food and water and the same is true of our soul with God. Without Him we cannot survive and we will be miserable.
