"Guard
your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life."
One of the
most important part of our bodies is our heart. It beats to keep us alive
sending the stream of life or blood flow through our bodies. We must keep our
hearts healthy.
Yet the heart
is also the most important place of our lives spiritually and emotionally. It
is the place where our good or our crookedness comes from.
That's why God
tells us to guard our hearts. It is vital that we do this so our physical and spiritual
lives are healthy. Guard it so that nothing can penetrate it that will be
deadly.
Because of the
work we do as leaders it is easy for our hearts to become cold to the people we
serve because the wickedness of the world or the poor choices that people make
or the way some try to manipulate the church to serve their own needs or
wants. I pray that our hearts will be pure and pointed toward God. I pray
that we will allow God to guard our heart and keep it healthy.
May our
choices, physically and spiritually, add to the ability for our heart to
function as God created it to do.
NOTE: this was
originally shared in October of 2012 as a note to leaders.
