Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be 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 all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.” CS Lewis
For many adults that have been hurt through bad relationships, there is the real temptation to shut down and lock out the world from your heart. Although it may bring temporary protection, it will never allow your heart to mature and develop, and more importantly, you will be shutting out Jesus from loving so many people through your kindness.
