Do not love because that is the will of your "God". Love is not a word, it is not a dollar to the homeless, it is not an act done one day of the year, or of the month, or of the day. True love is in every breath. Love is not from one person to another. Love is inside. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to resist your temptations. Instead, you must change them. Not in one day, not in one big change. That never works. It must be done slowly, day by day. Ultimately, it is about being at peace with yourself. God is not in a book, or on a golden throne up in the clouds. We are God. Each one of us. We have the power to control the most powerful thing in the universe: ourselves.
