I read the following quote this morning and I had to share it. C.S. Lewis so beautifully states the essence of a lesson I have been learning about love and hope to continue to learn as God puts His love in my heart.
"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...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...the only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers...of love is Hell." ~C.S. Lewis
