Ignoring a broken bone doesn't fix it. If left untreated the problem only gets worse and leads to complications and more pain and suffering. The same is true of our internal injuries. Tend them as tenderly, if not more so, than a broken bone. Perhaps, like a broken bone, if given this intentional space the heart can heal just as strong - if not more so - as before the breaking?
Friend, when we are heartbroken or disappointed, or in anyway feel damage emotionally, we move forward and will take any stride to protect against similar and further damage. This to me reminds me of when we suffer a physical injury, such as a broken arm. We take the time to heal to immobilize the bone so that the bone can heal.
Friend, most of the time we’re merely broken people, stumbling around breaking other people. We are careless with our words, our actions, and our deeds. Seldom taking notice of what matters, what is important, and what could make us whole until after we’ve destroyed it.
