"God promises to change our hearts, to take away the stone and replace it with flesh"
I desire to have a heart of flesh, God, though it scares me. It makes everything more intense, more painful, more penetrating. I don't know if I can handle it. Take me a step further, as I learn to treat myself as another. Give me a bit of flesh. Let me learn and know your meanings. There is much pain and sorrow, but there is also joy and celebration. There is hope, and both are human. I want to feel both, to know both. Not to be consumed by my own pain and needs. I want to know joy and happiness, hope, and celebration. Love. The things I do not really know how to experience, see, nor feel. These I ask of you.
Amen.
