The heart has its reasons which reason does not know. We feel it in a thousand things. It is the heart which experiences God, and not the reason. This, then, is faith; God felt by the heart, not by reason. —Blaise Paschal Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. —Matthew 5:8Blessing For A Soft HeartBlessed are you who see it all now—the beautiful, terrible truth that our world, our lives, seem irreparably broken. And you can't unsee it. The unruly problems, the person who wonders if any of this is worth it, all the loneliness and despair and fear.Blessed are you who glimpse reality and don't turn away. This kind of seeing comes at a steep cost. And it is a cost that you may not have paid intentionally. But here you are, seeing things clearly.Blessed are you who have worked hard to keep your heart soft. You who live with courage, fixing what is in your reach, praying about what is not, and loving still—despite difference, despite despair, despite all the reasons to shut it down.May you experience deeper capacity and glimpses of hope as you continue to see the world as it is: terrible, beautiful, fragile, enduring, and most of all good. —Kate Bowler
