          Do not strangle your heart with weeds of discontent, allowing rocks and stones of anger or revenge, or hurt feelings to mar that sacred space.  Permit the garden of your heart to grow, bringing forth a harvest of love from well-tended, rich soil.  Tend your heart with thoughts of compassion, forgiveness, and love, and let them rest there, until sprouts of understanding spring forth.  It is easy to let your heart harden, lacking the ability to love, from sheer will not to do so.  Therefore, do not withhold love from any one person, place, or thing.  For, with each denial a stone is placed in the soil.  Do not withhold forgiveness or compassion from any one person, place, or thing.  For, with each denial a weed is placed in the soil.  Your heart will produce that which you sow.  Cast the seeds of love upon the well-tended garden of your heart, and you shall feed the world with a glorious harvest.

And The Holy Spirit says:

           Do not withhold love, for to do so is to strangle your heart until it is hardened to the ways of love.
