“The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.” Charles Dickens
God’s paternal love is unconditional and relentless…open the door of your heart and let Him love you!

“Although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, I have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up for ever on my best affections. Deep affliction has only made them stronger; it ought, I think, for it should refine our nature.” Charles Dickens
Sometimes our hearts can be broken when we lose a loved one or simply break off a friendship…allow Christ to keep your heart open with his touch of love. He still wants to love so many through you!

“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but—I hope—into a better shape.” Charles Dickens
God can piece us back together from our brokenness to form something even more beautiful…allow him to work in you!
