God began healing and knitting us together as we poured out our hearts to each other and carried each other’s burdens. Instead of routinely having the “How are you? I’m fine, thanks, and you?” conversation, we would ask each other, “How’s your heart?” It sounds cheesy, but it forced us to evaluate and respond on a deeper level. When someone asks you, “How’s your heart doing?” you have to stop and think about it. The question set a precedent for transparent communication between us.
