Lock it up... . ..NOT!

“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

This quote reminds me how important it is to pick a side. To be hot or cold. When we cease to worship when life gets hard, satan will pull and pull and pull and PULL on us to lock up our hearts so that we do not get hurt again. he wants us to use this world to distract and entertain us, he wants us to think of only ourselves. But this... this will turn our hearts to stone. unresponsive to Gods voice, to His love.. we simply won't trust Him.. we won't love Him, When He is the only one worthy of love.. do not be conformed to this world..it will harden your heart. pick a side. this is war.


Lord, take my heart.. don't let me lock it up away from you. No matter how hard this life gets, no matter how painful the heart break, let me always come to You alone. To be restored, to be awakened from death, because You are the only one who cares enough to redeem and fix my broken heart...to bring me to life again... and all because of Your grace. Nothing can compare, Lord.. take all of my love... my whole heart...
