~Share Your Heart~ #2


If you’ve lived for any length of time, you’ve experienced pain.  Whether that pain is from the betrayal of a friend, the squashing of one of your dreams, the pain of losing a pet, a friend, or someone else you loved with everything inside of you, the pain of not being chosen for team sports, or the pain of desperately wanting someone to listen to you and feeling that no one cares; it doesn’t matter.  Pain cuts deep and leaves a hole where part of your heart used to be.

What do you do when you’re in pain & you think you should be able to talk to your parents; but your parents are the ones that are causing you the pain?  Do you talk to your friends?  Do you talk to your teachers?  Do you talk to the parents of some of your friends?  Or, do you keep silent?  What if you could find the perfect friend; what qualities would you want them to have so that you would feel safe to share your deepest thoughts, feelings, dreams, hopes, fears, and desires?

Thank you for sharing.
I wanted to add 1 scripture that is to be considered.
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
We should not let things, situations, frustrations, or people hurt our hearts. Because whatever is in your heart comes out as an issue or life-spring in your life.
