Tender heart

"There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart." - Jane Austen

Elysea to Asakya ~ "You're right; I'm brutal. I'm a brutally soft woman. I'm too tender hearted, and it will be my downfall."

What breaks can also be mended. The heart is a highly intelligent organ, but sometimes it needs our gentle lovingkindness to heal. A tender yet mighty thing, both energetically and physiologically, the heart is wired to love as much as it is capable of holding space for our pain. When we talk about “opening” the heart, we must remember that in doing so, we’re intentionally making ourselves vulnerable, inviting both the consequences and rewards of our actions.

Being tender open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh'ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah. Blah. Don't let someone steal your tenderness. Don't allow the coldness fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more POWERFUL than allowing yourself to be TRULY affected by things. ~ Zooey Deschanel

What does "tender-hearted" mean? A look at what Paul teaches in Ephesians four can help us understand what this means for Christians.
