Sometimes you really have to stand back and allow God to respond to a situation on your behalf. There are outcomes that we just aren’t creative or skilled enough to produce in our defence of self.
Even platonically, I love intensely. Intimacy is not reserved for romance. I will always respect people's boundaries, but I think a lot of people are taken back because they've never been loved for the sake of being loved. I don't want anything. I just really love my friends.
