“Love is not control. Love is willfully given and received. Love does not rush people who are broken. It’s patient and kind and long suffering.”
― Love Belvin, Love Redeemed

“I didn’t understand love, so I certainly didn’t love myself enough; I’d only functioned in survival. Survival was easy because when you fight to survive the only person you have to consider is yourself.”
― Love Belvin, Love Redeemed

“I’m a man,” he returned with harsher resolve. “Once we get past the title, the frill of my extensive travel and education, the calling on my life that I can’t control, and my family’s socioeconomic status, we can appreciate that I am a hot-blooded man who fights with rigor not to kiss you the way that I want, who struggles against beating his meat every day when I think about your glorious and sinful body while I’m alone, and the man who wants a woman in his bed to defile in each and every way as he chooses. Pastoral image aside, I am a man with carnal need, just one who wants to follow the rules and wait until I’m married to release what I’ve been holding since the day I laid eyes on you.”
― Love Belvin, In Covenant with Ezra
