Broken Heart, Good Soil
A soft heart bears fruit.
When you become vulnerable to God, showing Him all your scars, all your pains and burdens, casting your cares on Him. Then He strengthens your heart.
But when your heart is hardened, defensive, always on the lookout—always on point and backed with legal proof—you cannot be used, neither can you bear fruit.
When your heart is defensive toward a man, you cannot love him adequately. You do not trust him, you do not believe him, and you cannot depend on or rely on him.
It is okay to cry. When you are done crying, pick yourself up. But with God, He picks you up and sets you on your feet.
Luke 22:41–44 (AMP)
“[41] And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, [42] saying, ‘Father, if You are willing, remove this cup [of divine wrath] from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.’ [43] Now an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. [44] And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground.” [Heb. 5:7]
The angel of the Lord appeared to Him and ministered to Him.
