What God told me today
I need to learn to let myself be vulnerable.
"...in becoming man for us, Christ made himself totally vulnerable for us in Jesus of Nazareth, and it is not possible to be a Christian while refusing to be vulnerable."
"I love, therefore I am vulnerable. When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability."
-from Madeleine L'Engle's Walking on Water

“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 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.”
C.S. Lewis
I know that you can be vulnerable dear b/c I know that you can love, and more importantly that you want to love. So do not become discouraged, find your strength in Him. For He is the only one who can provide it unceasingly.
I love Love LOVE you!!!
