Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel. Corrie Ten Boom
About This Quote

Love is something that is so powerful, it can hurt so much. When the love you have has been blocked, it hurts so much. You can either kill that love or ask God to open up another route for it to travel down. If God will allow you to open up a different route for those feelings, then those feelings will be all the stronger. That's what this quote means.
