Love <3

"The needle of your inner compass needs to point in the direction of true north: Jesus the Christ. But if you look closely at any needle that's pointing true north, it trembles. Love trembles because intimacy hurts. Love is painful. The preciousness of love is matched by the precariousness of love. Love can't be controlled, only cultivated. There is no love without loss of self and loss of control. Love is the hardest thing in the world to get right, because when you give up control you consent to uncertainty and unpredictable outcomes. Yet losing yourself to find yourself is the way of love."           - Leonard Sweet
