I can’t talk about love without talking about sacrifice, and
I can’t talk about sacrifice without talking about mercy.
Love is doing what is best for someone else
regardless of circumstances,
regardless of what I may feel,
regardless of what others may do to me.
Sacrifice is giving up my position,
my plans,
my ideas,
my ideals,
my feelings,
my desires
for the good of someone else.
Mercy is the coming together of love and sacrifice.
