― Janet Autherine, The Heart and Soul of Black Women: Poems of Love, Struggle and Resilience

“Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
That's the question I've been thinking about lately
But currently, that's not on my mind.
It was a grind trying to get to you, but it was worth it
to hear those words “Baby, I am yours.”
Some days you drive me crazy,
but most days it's all love and happiness.
Like Al Green says, “It’s something that'll make you do wrong and right.”
But with you, I try with all my might to do the latter.
All the others before you don't matter because it's all about us.
When we started, I thought about trust because
I've been burned so many times
and I burned my fair share.
When you saw my imperfections,
you didn't stop and stare in disgust.
You brought me close and whispered in my ear “I don't care.”
You stared into my eyes lovingly and said I got you.
It was that moment I knew I wanted to wrap my arms around you
and hold you tight forever. Will you be mine in that way?
Will you never get tired of me and always stay?
I said all this just to say, “Will you marry me?”
― Jeremy Allen, Twelve Midnight

“You wish you could go back to a time when God wasn’t confusing--when God and everything made sense.

Your questions matter. Your fears matter. Your confusion matters. Your anger matters. Embrace the vulnerability of them and find out who God is. Even your fears and doubts become opportunities for encountering God, if you let them draw us close to God.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, Trust Issues With God: Because Life Is Unfair: Bible Study, With Video Access

“Your trust issues come from your hope being broken. You have learned it is safer not to hope. It is safer to beat vulnerability to the punch and strive to control your surroundings.

It is safer to treat hope as a wish. Hope then becomes something ethereal that you wish upon a star and then you continue on controlling your outcome. Or holding steadfast to hope–which really is your version of that “supposed-to” you want to see happen–as a symbol of your faith.
This is not hope. Hope involves more of you and your soul than wishing it up to God. (Look out vulnerability!) It is easier to believe you can “easy button” this to God but a life of hope involves your guttiness.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, Trust Issues With God: Because Life Is Unfair: Bible Study, With Video Access

“Love will smash your heart. To love is to put yourself in vulnerability. With vulnerability comes the possibility that you will have your heart smashed. This is a 100 percent possibility.

Nothing will change that percentage. As a Christian, you are not exempt from pain.
God is always faithful. That is also 100 percent. God always redeems our pain. And pain has a Holy Spirit magic way of making you beautiful.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, Trust Issues With God: Because Life Is Unfair: Bible Study, With Video Access

“By choosing me you are choosing to have a life that is a little less comfortable because of me.

that can only be accessed by dismantling
the mechanisms you built to protect yourself.
The cost of entry is your unguarded vulnerability.”

“But the flower can be no other. And in its natural state, it is fragile. It is vulnerable within a dangerous environment. However, despite its fragility and vulnerability, it continues to flourish throughout nature. Its seeds move in ways that can't be controlled and it grows fields of flowers.”
― Natalia Beshqoy, Awakening: Spiritual Poems for Humanity

“Even with so much healing done when two true hearts open up face to face, they may still have tears to shed and less than clear thoughts in their heads.

But tears can be cleansing and rejuvenating. Uncertainty brings opportunity to grow and find clarity.

In relationship with ourselves or others, may we observe and process our hearts and minds, may we choose love, joy, and peace as our path unwinds.”
― Emilyann Allen
