Why Is It Hard To Market The One You Love?

Do you really love Him? Many times we profess how we cannot live without our lover but to tell people about this lover, we shy away from it. We can say so many things about other people and things but not our beloved. This post aims at encouraging you to market the one you love. 

looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God – Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV).
