There are people who
do not want to be vulnerable to pain or heartache and, yet, they also want
The alternative to
love—and the vulnerability that comes with it—is to allow our hearts to become
hard, calloused and cynical. This is a path we can choose, however, it will
diminish who we are as people, it will diminish our capacity to be caring human
beings, and it will diminish God’s authentic work in us.
To have a tender,
caring, loving heart is an important part of what it means to be alive. To have
a cold, hard heart is the onset of death.
I believe it is
better to suffer some pain and some heart ache—even though it can be incredibly
difficult—yet still have a heart that is open, tender, soft and caring; a heart
that is capable of love. That means we will have to be ready to experience the
pain and keep moving forward, anyhow.
We were created for
life. We were created for love.
Happy Valentine’s
Day, my friends!
