The aching heart is healed by Love.
Most people walk around constantly saying, "Please love me," through our actions and words. We have wounded hearts, but most of us have not yet learned to say, "I need love" or to give ourselves the love we need. Most people ask for love through anger, or sadness, or fear, complaining or attacking, trying to dominate, or shutting down in some way. You need your own Love. Others cannot ever heal this deep wound in your own heart; it is not their fault when you feel pain, though we try to blame.
Cut through the bullshit. Reality: There is only Love and a calling out for Love. When our heart is not filled with Love, then we feel pain. When our heart is filled with Love, we feel joy, radiance, and contentment. This is why the saints have "halos" - it is the light of their joy shining out all around them. It is why spiritual people are radiant and others are drawn to them. People are drawn to their own essence that they see reflected in these other people.
The essence of God is Love. Through Loving Action toward others (or yourself) your heart will begin to heal, for this will fill your heart with that which it is ACHING for - Love. When you see how much other people are suffering, then your own heart fills with compassion. When you realize that all negativity from others is a calling for Love, then you will not be hurt by their negativity, and you can respond with compassion and tenderness. When you are upset or suffering, do something LOVING - for yourself or for other people.
