"There’s a lovely Hasidic story of a rabbi who always told his people that if they studied the Torah, it would put Scripture on their hearts. One of them asked, 'Why on our hearts, and not in them?' The rabbi answered, 'Only God can put Scripture inside. But reading sacred text can put it on your hearts, and then when your hearts break, the holy words will fall inside.'"
-Anne Lamott
So I pray we take the quotes I'm going to post and write the wisdom on our hearts, so that when our hearts break--yes, when--God's wisdom from Scripture will fill in the empty places inside and these quotes will heal the open wound.
