So very true and I have also had someone in my life that helped me learn this.
It has been one of the most life changing revelations in my Christian life.
I can reach so many more people more effectively now.
It helps me fulfill the scripture "Love without dissimulation". In other words... love without hypocrisy... let your love be sincere.
They know when the "love" I show has an agenda behind it and they know when the love I show is true , genuine and without strings.
