For the love of God

My daughter has a heart that cares for and breaks for the world (see her blog post Fri, Sept 25).

She helps me want to also take that path of caring, so much that my heart breaks. Reminds me of some words:

a quote that a counselor shared with me last year--

“Oh break my heart, break it again. So I can love even more again.” – Sufi

and a verse --

But whoever has the world's goods and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

- I John 3:17 (New American Standard translation)

This is not easy for me. I am so far from loving well.

Oh, for the love of God.
