A few words of truth from C.S. Lewis that touched my heart and strengthened my resolve:
"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
Remember that you're not truly living until you step out in faith, trusting God, and risk something. "No pain, no gain" isn't a motivator: it's a fact of life. Let's learn to open up to others, risking pain and injury; for with risk comes value, acceptance, and true, unconditional love.
