We cannot understand another's pain unless we too have experienced it. May God continue to shower you with love, compassion and strength.

He teaches us through every trial, heartache and challenge. That's the best way to learn but it's painful. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing of your month of heart expansion. I fear too many people close their hearts to protect themselves. But I know that when I've gone through a hurt and the Lord brings someone into my life who is going through something similar, He gives me the words of comfort to speak and the arms of love to hold. Sometimes words aren't even needed. <br /><br />I'll have to look up that book on Amazon. It sounds good.<br /><br />Love you and happy Valentine's Day,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-51752337490663670132012-02-14T04:00:08.077-08:002012-02-14T04:00:08.077-08:00This is my favorite of your posts yet, Janette!! ...This is my favorite of your posts yet, Janette!!

Our hearts are more open and pliable, we sense our need of Jesus in these tough times, in ways that don't always come with this depth during the high points of life. He knows that so well. He makes such perfect use of these times in our hearts, as in yours during these circumstances.<br /><br />You are SO on the right track! I often think it's a good thing that SOMETHING good is happening, since being in the eye of these storms can feel so unsettling... not to HIM!<br /><br />Love you!http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-11368676770188946882012-02-13T18:29:27.905-08:002012-02-13T18:29:27.905-08:00Oh, how well I know that challenging times can enl...Oh, how well I know that challenging times can enlarge our hearts.
