"A hard heart leads to death, and a soft, tender heart leads to life. I love talking about staying tender until the work of it feels too much and I realize tenderness in our world isn’t just pretty flower petals and all things soft and lovely. It is work that can be painful and it will always leave us vulnerable. Sometimes we lose a petal in the process.

Tenderness is a messy risk, but the alternative is much more destructive in the long run."
