It is love alone that can change the human heart. -Jocelyn Soriano
We can go on trying to change people by fear, by anger or by humiliation, and we can just go on failing again and again. It is love alone that can change a human heart, and it is love alone that can redeem a human soul.
Without love within, all the external changes we can make will never last.
Without love guiding our way, we are forever lost.
For it is not in what we have or what we do that we can find the meaning of life. It is always in who we are, and we only discover who we really are in LOVE.
When we start to love, we start also to be changed, to be changed for the better and for good!
It may not happen at once, but through seasons of blessed struggle, love finds its way and occupies all of our being.
We finally change because then we become finally free. It is in love that we find true freedom, the freedom to be happy and to be good.
Let love change you. Then, as that love takes over your whole being, let it overflow unto others, changing every heart it blesses along the way.
“I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh; that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” – Ezekiel 11:19-20, WEB
