The introductory poem to the poem "Charity (The Infinitude of Love)"

It’s about that time. The weather is nice and the temptation is there to forget about thinking twice. The hearts of many men and women will be nearly ruined. And what will you be doing? This poem is to address love life misconceptions, confessions, and missed directions of the heart. First of all, love is not an art. It’s the start. What good is it to live with a broken heart? According to some people, the One that made the universe is not doing His part. But He is. Some of you have had questions, but there are answers. How hard is it to mend a heart for the God who heals my friends from cancer? It’s summertime, and so God inspired this poem right on time. Contrary to popular opinion, love does not come with the weather. But rather, love is about whether or not you and God remain together. The best protection for the heart, is having a loving God and loving God. Consequently, the love that you give to someone else is the love that you get from God. This way, your supply of love is infinite and you don’t even need to protect your heart, although remaining wise about who you trust, as well as whom you place your trust in. Women, don’t place your trust in men. Men, don’t place your trust in women. But place your trust in God and He will fulfill the desires of your heart, and at the right moment He’ll provide you with a man or woman of God… or friends that live by God, so you can trust them. You can have a brother, sister, friend or lover who will not plot with seduction, life suction, touching and sexual corruption, simply because they are lusting…but someone who places you first, with sincerity and honesty, living by God’s instruction. But wait, there’s more… this is just an introduction... (the introduction to 'Charity')
