When you ask him to show you and he obliges 🥰

i don't think that my willingness to do absolutely anything for the people that i love is the problem

i think the problem is that i fall in love much too easily

Teaching Your Child to Love Others

by J.C. Ryle

Teach love to others. Press it continually on your children. Tell them the great duty of kindness, helpfulness, and considerateness, one for another. Remind them constantly that kindness, good nature, and good temper, are among the first evidences which Christ requires in children.

If they cannot know much, or explain doctrines–they can understand love. A child’s religion is worth very little if it only consists in repeating texts and hymns. As useful as they are, they are often . . .

learned without thought, remembered without feeling, repeated without consideration of their meaning, and forgotten when childhood is gone!

By all means let children be taught texts and hymns; but let not such teaching be made everything in their religion. Teach them to keep their tempers, to be kind one to another, to be unselfish, good-natured, obliging, patient, gentle, forgiving.
