The night is as bright as the day. Psalm 139:12 NASB

“Who ARE you?…..I hardly know, sir, just at present–at least I knew who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”  C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
