Props to my friend Brandy for posting this great quote:
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in the casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable…The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all of the dangers of love is…Hell." C.S. Lewis
There are times in our lives when people will really hurt us....badly. They will let us down, they will walk all over us. But when we trust in God and not ourselves, then He can pick us back up, restore our hearts, and allow us to love again with equal or even more passion and commitment. Thank you, God.
