Today is a day dedicated to honoring and understanding the tender-hearted nature within each of us. This unique aspect of our character is often overlooked or undervalued in a world that praises strength and resilience. However, it is through our tender-heartedness that we are able to empathize with others, feel compassion, and form deep connections. On this divination day, it is essential to take a moment to reflect on our own tender-hearted nature. **What emotions do we feel when we see someone in pain or when we witness an act of kindness? Do we allow ourselves to fully experience and express these emotions, or do we bury them deep within? How can we nurture and cultivate our tender-heartedness in a world that sometimes seems harsh and cold?** Divination is a powerful tool that can help us gain insights into these questions. Through various divination practices, such as tarot card readings, astrology, or meditation, we can tap into our subconscious and explore the depths of our tender-hearted nature.
Awareness of God’s judgment keeps us from being presumptuous. It produces a holy fear that will help us be godlier pastors. We dare not mistreat the sheep entrusted to our care, for we are aware of the judgment of God. We dare not harbor anger or resentment toward our brother or sister in Christ. We dare not utter a careless word because we know we will give an account. But also, when we are aware of God’s judgment, criticism will not rock us easily when it comes our way, fair or not. We will have thick skin.
This is what Paul was talking about when he wrote to the Ephesians Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

tenderhearted
I came across the word while reading Anne Lamott’s book, Traveling Mercies.
I forget how she uses it or on which page, but it caught my eyes and I scribbled the word down.
The word also appears in Ephesians 4:32, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
I really like this verse most days.
Some days I am better at being resentful and rude and king of my own world.
I don’t like those days.
On those days I need to go back to bed, read the Gospels, and then look in the mirror.
I am not sure how to put the word tenderhearted into words.
Maybe it is one of those words that isn’t supposed to be defined.
Like, hope and love and beauty.
We can try to define these words, but we will always try to define these words.
Maybe tenderhearted is best defined by a color.
Or sunset.
Or sunrise.
Or taste.
But, for what it’s worth, I looked up the definition.
And, as it turns out, it’s a great definition.
Tenderhearted: having a kind, gentle, or sentimental nature.
But I’d still like to think this word is difficult to define.
Something about this word slows me down.
All of me.
Not just my hands or mind or feet, but all of me.
It makes me wonder … Am I?
Am I tenderhearted?
It makes me pray, Lord, make me become tenderhearted like your Son. Even if it hurts. But please don't let it hurt that much, it’s been a big year. Amen.
This word, tenderhearted, can hold two things at the same time.
Joy and sorrow.
Heavy and light.
Healing and wholeness.
2019 and tomorrow.
Love and pain.
Tuesdays and Saturdays.
There isn’t a place where tenderheartedness isn’t welcomed (or needed).
And I want to bring it everywhere I go.
Even when I look in the mirror.
And I want to bring it everywhere I go.
