 Another courageous American, Martin Luther King Jr., some 100 years later, encouraged us to exhibit tough minds and soft hearts, not the other way around. Be mentally tough. Your resolve and determination will overcome great obstacles along life's path. But let your heart be soft. Your compassion and love will make the journey worth it. From Ezekiel 36, 26. And I will give you a new heart and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
