Guard Your Heart

Guard Your Heart…

Good morning,

With each sunrise, God paints a new day filled with opportunities and blessings. As you step into this day, may His love be the rhythm in your step and His grace the melody in your heart.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23

The heart, in biblical terms, often refers not just to our emotions but our thoughts, will, and innermost being. This proverb is a poignant reminder of the importance of guarding it. Just as the body’s health can be determined by the state of the heart, the spiritual and emotional health of our lives can be gauged by the condition of our inner heart.

When our hearts are filled with God’s love, grace, and truth, our actions and words will naturally reflect His light. But if we allow bitterness, envy, or negativity to take root, it can influence every aspect of our lives. Guarding our heart is not about building walls, but nurturing it with God’s Word, surrounding ourselves with godly influences, and constantly checking our emotions and motives in the light of His truth.

Heavenly Father, I come before You, recognizing the importance of a pure heart. Help me to guard it, not out of fear, but with the understanding that from it springs the wellspring of life. Nourish my heart with Your Word, and let me be mindful of what I let in, always choosing love, truth, and all things that honor You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

The best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
