There is no safe investment. 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, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with little hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.

I believe that the most lawless and inordinate loves are less contrary to God's will than a self-invited and self-protective lovelessness? We shall draw nearer to God, not by trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armor. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as a way in which they should break, so be it.

"One Too Many Moons"
(A work in progress)

I love a full moon.
One night, as I was standing alone outside in my back yard in Nashville, there was a full moon and it was beautiful.

My thoughts were full of longing. Longing for a day yet to come.

There is but one man who is said to have seen God face to face and that is Moses. I've always been jealous of him for that.

I know that one day I WILL see God face to face. So I'm filled with a sense of longing and a restlessness with the world I live in now.

Ah, how beautiful is the moon when it's full. But it's only a meager little glimpse of what will one day totally captivate me. Gazing at the face of my God.

So I gaze at the moon, longing to see Him face to face. Longing to gaze into the eyes of the lover of my soul... the one who created everything; me, the universe, and that beautiful moon that so captivates me for now.
