You can't live like a brick in a fortress wall forever. This is how you've learned to cope: harden so that when the fires roll over, you're not burned raw.
There's a Man refused to shut His heart. There was no reserve, there were no walls of bitterness built when His Betrothed took Him out of the City Gates and broke His heart. And when the burning fires rolled over and over, His eyes witnessing more suffering than what you and I pass by on our American streets, there was nothing in Him that drew back or said, "I can't handle this."
You can't live like a brick in the wall forever. He will shake you from your place. The dimensions of your heart, even calcified by years of compression, years of abuse, will find their melting point before those Eyes of Fire.
His commitment of love is a force so fierce that it rends every obstacle, eating its passionate way through the veils of the heart. This fire that burns is a fire that heals. This war that lays siege to every wall is salvation. Thundering, Love wins us tenderly.
