To love at all is to be vulnerable . . . draw nearer to God, not be trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armor. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chr-General","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44187632599264,"sku":"Books:9780062565396n","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/71qX1BsxEfL._AC_UY327_FMwebp_QL65.webp?v=1744838970","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/the-four-loves-paperback","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
