Break Your Heart!

Heart, O Heart! tear yourself open-- Do not mind the blood! Christ is here and overflowing with light and purest love He'll sow within your lungs a breeze so sweet you'll never need to struggle for breath or want for ease He'll harvest in you the wheat He'll make into the Bread of Life; He'll set you all aflame with love and bake the bread in you to be His body at His will, He'll feed you from His hand and with His hand he'll take your heart rent open, broken, bruised, bless and heal it but leave it open to hold the whole wide world, to love the whole wide world

“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”

St. Teresa of Avila

Jesus,

when I tire of my bullshit, I only sink so far; my flakiness is constant, but I know Who You are! You're love and You are goodness; You are fidelity. If like a sheep I wander, I know You will find me and with a gentle smile invite me back into the fold, warming my heart by the fire in this night that had got me so cold. When I'm dragged down by my nonsense, and I can't bear my own face, I have only to gaze at Yours, the very visage of Grace.

The great emphasis that early Quakers placed upon Christ as the teacher and enlightener has often been grossly misunderstood by out-group critics and by Quakers themselves. It has sometimes been maintained that the central principle of the Quakers is the "Inner Light" — a Quaker discovery whose universal validity is not dependent on the Christian revelation. This misunderstanding caused some early critics to call the Quaker teaching about the Light, "the Quakers' idol." Fox was not putting an "Inner Light" doctrine in place of Christ, but he was using the biblical "light" terminology to express a greatly expanded understanding of the saving power of Christ. This expanded understanding is the foundation of everything that Fox taught.
