On the other hand, when you do something for someone else, there's often a greater, deeper satisfaction.

When you believe marriage is your answer, you'll often give something that eventually hurts you both.

God put you on earth with a divine assignment- something prepared in advance for you to do. I've found that the things that make us sad, the things that make us righteously angry, or the things we care about that others don't are often a key that unlocks our reason for living. It's our burden.
