Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. -Ephesians 1:4, NLT I love the feeling of being “wanted” or “needed” by someone.

Cheaters devalue.
Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.

I remember when I first started dating, again… My profile didn’t have info about being divorced. I felt ashamed of this. Soon, though, I realized that I was wasting time not having it posted.
