Speaking of the Heart...

Tell her something true when all she's known are lies.
Tell her God loves her.
Tell her about forgiveness, the possibility of freedom, tell her she was made to dance in white dresses.
All these things are true.
We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless.
We don't get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers.
We won't solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way.
We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we're called home.

wow- that's really powerful! God's love is so much bigger than we can ever imagine. It will overcome our hurt, lies and distrust. Keep your head up :)
