Those who have hearts of stone are in fact imprisoned within ramparts of fear.
They feel so threatened and insecure that they hide their love within a fortress of stone.
But this is unconscious.
It is the result of attacks and bullying that they experienced in their childhood when their actions and reactions were not consciously controlled.
But God takes away our fear.
His steadfast Love reassures us and comforts us.
God is trustworthy and reliable.
He restores our souls.
And He opens our hearts.
"I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 (NRSV)
