What did the Tin Man say about hearts?

A heart is not practical when it can still be broken?

Yes- we know we are being vulnerable. We extend ourselves emotionally, physically and mentally, and take for granted the one we shower with love will reciprocate.

We cannot fully understand reasoning of another. Intention of another. Plans of another.

It’s amazing anyone decides to trust another human being.

A quote I read a few months ago says when we see the frailty of human love, we realize how much we need the love of God.

Because it will not tire, fail, say ugly things, let us down, hurt or disappoint.

I Corinthians 13:4-7

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Humans can never love one another completely. It will always be faulty.

We just do the best we can with the broken pieces.
