What is the Difference Between Loving Someone and the Fear of Hurting Someone?
Love never ever wants to hurt anyone! It’s extremely painful for love to be forced to deliver the news that the person it loves needs to change. That said....though it may be painful, love will deliver the message not for itself but for the sake of the person it loves, and it will take no joy in any suffering.

What is the difference between being grateful and thankful?
Thankfulness is the fruit of gratefulness. No one owes us anything! If we buy the lie people or God owes us something, we plant and nurture the seed of our own destruction.

Maybe the biggest struggles we face is the struggle to know what is God and what is our own feelings. If we are asking that question though, I believe we are in a good place, because many times we don't have to ask. We know what is right and just don't want to do it. When we are unsure, we should wait and pray until we are confident in the next move we should make. We can know God won't lead us with fear, He doesn't want us to follow signs, and while we wait we should make sure we are giving Him
