Few things feel more vulnerable than a broken heart.
Life's way of reacting to a crushed heart is to wrap tough sinews of flesh around it and tempt us to promise we'll never let ourselves get hurt again.
That's not God's way.
Self-made fortresses built to protect our hearts not only keep love from going out, they keep love from coming in.
We risk becoming captives of our own protective fortresses.
Only God can put the pieces of our hearts back together again, close up the wounds, and bind them with a porous bandage that protects from infection...
but keeps the heart free to inhale and exhale love.
