Is there such a thing as allowing yourself to become too vulnerable? Can you open yourself up so much that you're always in a position to be hurt? I am learning to let myself take this risk, but now I have no protection for my heart. Now I remember why I built walls and hid behind masks.
And when is helping and being empathetic to others too much? Their problems and hurts become internalized as you feel their pain and enter their lives. Compassion can break a heart.
I can't imagine the pain God feels when he deals with our problems and hurts and issues. When we disobey, or rebel. When we are selfish, and mean spirited. When we hurt, and cry. I am thankful for His compassion, how dare I break His heart....

We should never close ourselves off from the world to prevent hurts. When we do we close ourselves off from all the good things God has for us and others. These good things are much more than the hurts that will come our way
