There is a line from one of the newer hymns that has been haunting me all day. The hymn – ‘Come Touch Our Hearts’ words and music by Gordon Light, 2002, includes a line, ‘Come touch our hearts that we may know compassion’. Somewhere during the day, the words switched to ‘come touch my heart’. The words became more powerful. My thoughts were possibly influenced by the writings of Ann Voskamp, ‘The Broken Way’. One of her chapter thoughts is ‘maybe wholeness is embracing brokenness as part of your life’.
