“A favor is a friendly, gracious, kind, generous or obliging act that is freely granted. It is offered and not solicited.

A promise is a declaration assuring that one will or will not do something. It is a vow to commit oneself by a promise to do or give. It is a pledge: to make a declaration assuring that something will or will not be done.

When you assume and mistook favor for a promise, then misunderstanding comes in.

Learn to distinguish clearly between a favor and a promise to avoid false expectations, blind hopes and deep disappointments.

Never demand on favours given.
Never impose on mistaken promises.
Never put under pressure the people who have given you favor.

Have a humble and grateful heart for both favors and promises fulfilled.”

“Thank You, Lord, for a new year! Give me the discipline that it takes to make necessary changes. I love You, Father. Amen.”

“A competitive and insecure woman will tell you that “true love” is never giving up on someone you're in love with. A confident and spiritual woman knows that “moving on” doesn’t mean you never loved someone. She realizes that letting go is what God needs her to do because both your happiness and hers requires taking different journeys for spiritual growth. Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing, but it is the most “real love” you will ever experience.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“...this was false hope - a sustaining myth between them. They didn't struggle on account of a failure to find the solution to their problems: There was not some mode of togetherness that...would make him feel that her love had depth and warmth, that she wanted to be with him and not a version of him that she might fashion. Their problems were a fact of their togetherness itself.”
― Joshua Max Feldman, The Book of Jonah
