"True love is selfless. It is prepared to sacrifice." - Sadhu Vaswani

While serving aboard a gunboat in Vietnam, Dave Roever was holding a
phosphorus grenade some six inches from his face when a sniper’s bullet
ignited the explosive. The first time he saw himself after the
explosion, he says he saw a monster, not a human being. "I was alone in
the way the souls in hell must feel alone," he wrote. When he returned
to the states, he feared how his young bride, Brenda, would react. He
had just watched a wife tell another burn victim that she wanted a
divorce. But when Brenda walked in, she kissed him on what was left of
his face, smiled, and said, "Welcome home, Davey! I love you."
Ellen G. White said, "True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding."
