Keeping the Heart Open and Alive

On Innate Tenderness

Aug 8, 2008

Saying For Today: Strength without heart is deadening to the soul, which lives only and ultimately on Love.


Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer
Tell me, are we alive
Or just a dying planet
(What are the chances)
Ask the man in your heart
For the answer
And when you feel afraid
(Love one another)
When you've lost your way
(Love one another)
And when you're all alone
(Love one another)
And when you're far from home
(Love one another)
And when you're down and out
(Love one another)
And when your hopes run out
(Love one another)
And when you need a friend
(Love one another)
And when you're near the end
(Love)
(We've got to love)
(We've got to love one another)
Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

*Lyrics from "Light of the World," England Dan and John Ford Coley

Jesus wept.

*John 11.35, AV

To be alive truly, and spiritually, is not a matter of shutting out either joy or suffering, but finding each, equally, a way to and with God ~ Who is Love and nurtures True Love. And this way will be a way to and with the other. And this way will be a way to and with our true Self.

*Brian K. Wilcox, OneLife Ministries, Author "An Ache for Union"

When the human heart gives itself to God, it loses nothing of its innate tenderness; in fact, this tenderness grows when it becomes more pure and more divine.

*St. Theresa of Story of a Soul. Trans. John Clark.
