I need your response, dear readers. I have a question to pose to you. How do you guard your heart after heartbreak? How do you give someone else a fair chance in your life without making them feel they are paying for the sins of someone from a past relationship? Pretty deep, right? We have all been in situations where we wanted “Heart Protection!” Why? Because heartache can cause much pain and grief.
Nevertheless, life warrants taking risks or chances to have opportunities for genuine love. Accordingly, we all know past relationships can weaken our trust and confidence in being open to someone new. That is very understandable, but choosing not to be open can be disheartening. “Heart Protection!” is as important as protecting anything valuable to us. However, we may only know what we gain if we are willing to give someone else a chance.
Hence, as I close, I ask you, dear readers, how do you give someone a fair chance and not make them the scapegoat because of being hurt in the past? How do you let go by not bringing up past issues in conversations with someone new? Or is there some merit in doing so because it makes a statement of what’s acceptable or not to you? Understandably, so everyone desires “Heart Protection!” The question is, how do you do it? I have posed a lot of questions. Please share your thoughts. They will be beneficial to some readers. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Proverbs 15:13. I’ll be back next week with a new post, “It’s Already Done!”
Be encouraged, and God bless!

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV
Often easier said than done,
Allow the Holy Spirit to completely heal the pain of the past and use that experience as a lesson learned and a stepping stone to greater peace. Even as pain in the body is an indicator that something is wrong, painful memories, are indicators that total healing is needed.
We should not allow the pain/hurt of the past to rob us of the joy of the present/ future.
Trust Psalms 32:8
However, take heed to warning signs;
STOP….,..SLOW……Go
Well said! And so true-“We should not allow the pain/hurt of the past to rob us of the joy of the present/future.” Thank you so much for your enlightening and thoughtful comments! May the love and grace of God render bountiful blessings to you. God bless you!
