Heart tenderized
pounded thin
and seasoned with sadness
marinates in grief
swells with love
and drips compassion.
Tenderly,
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. ~Philippians 2:1-2 (NLT)
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. ~2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT)
Succinct and sweet!

It does seem as though tenderizing requires, beating, seasoning and marinating…but the result is sooo worth it! Beautiful words, beautiful picture.
And sometimes that marinating takes a long, long time.
wow…softly shared and so vulnerable…sweet love to you now.
