There is a bumper crop of babies. All the babies I knew are having babies. On social media, there are pictures of every mood babies go through and also cats. Those babies are cute and cuddly. They are as tender-hearted as they will ever be. We seem too prize tender-heartedness. We will do whatever is necessary to protect those babies from being hurt. So what happened? Why are we as hard-hearted or hard-headed as we will ever be? If we prize tenderheartedness, what happened? We can look back and see exactly where it started. Being hurt by your first relationship. Or being betrayed by a friend. It develop in our lives to the point where we don’t trust or want a relationship. And yet those babies want and need us unconditionally. That is what we want out of our relationship. To be accepted completely, warts and all. It gets to a point where there is no return. Where we become so hard-hearted that we won’t listen to anyone. But this road only leads to destruction, our own. How do I know? Because that was my life. I grew up in a normal home with regular expectations. But they all wanted me to be what they wanted me to be. I was looking for someone who would accept me for me. My cry for help was so loud, it reached heaven. And heaven answered. And a person who I had known about all my life, reached down and touched my life. I never expected Him to even take notice of me. But He showed me that He loved me just as I was. And that He accepted me into His family. And you can know Him too. All you have to do is to call upon Jesus. I have never been hard-hearted or hard-headed since.
