The Heart

 
The heart hides
itself
behind the walls it
built to keep hurt out.
But all it does
is hold the hurt inside
until it breaks in pieces.
 
The heart needs
fellowship
and ready doors that
swing wide open
for others.
Then when hurt knocks
true hands will reach
inside to help.
 
Grace
 
"Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up....
...Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10;12
