#entrustedstudy by #bethmoore 💜 "Welcome to the heart-skinning of soul closeness. This is what happens when you don't just offer your gifts. You off your heart and it can get torn right out of your chest. 💜 Still, we keep putting it out there because what is love without sacrifice in the wake of Christ's cross? 💜 A life that risks no loss is no life at all. Divine love does not spare itself. 💜 If Timothy was witness to that emotional farewell or perhaps entrusted to the elders at that time, as tender as Paul would have been to them all, the tears of one stung most of all. "I remember your tears," he wrote close to his death (2 Tim. 1:4, ESV).
