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 keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round hobbies and little luxuries; avoid entanglements; lock it up safe in a coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless-your heart will change. It will not be broken; but instead become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable....The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from of the dangers of love....is Hell. Harsh, but for those that are on the cusp of giving your heart and to someone and living again...please be courageous and try. When we are secure in our relationship with the lord we understand that we can indeed risk that vulnerability and offer our true self to people again. No longer will there be a demand for people to come through for us, but instead we choose to offer something valuable of ourselves to others instead. We must be risk vulnerablity if the desires of our true heart are ever going to be met. It's our choice to love.
