At the end of the day, only God's love really counts. Flowers and words and the best trinkets and conversation only go so far before you realise the strange emptiness that it all leaves, and what is sad, sad, sad is that when you get so much you only want even more. The Lord alone can truly satisfy every one of our needs, and the moment we take our eyes off Him -
- we just lose it all, even that with which we were once content.
"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it." Matthew 16:25
