guard your heart...

the world tells us to “follow our heart” and to do as we please. as long as you're not harming anyone in the process, you're fine.

take heed to this warning. do not do this. 

the hebrew definition of the word “guard” means to “watch over with great care.” if we were to be honest with ourselves, that’s something we’ve all failed to do. due to our own ignorance, we failed to watch over the thing that has us bound the most

the bible mentions the heart on several occasions. and those occurrences are not coincidental. clearly, the LORD wanted to make several things clear to us. 

as deceitful the heart is described to be, it’s also something we should watch over. a paradox in itself, but there’s a reason.

the heart, in a spiritual sense are the emotions and the memories. it’s where our decision-making
lies. 

the same way in a physical sense, if the heart were to stop functioning, you and i would cease to be, same goes for our heart in a spiritual sense. 

so clearly, this is something we should NOT play about. especially when it comes to relationships and dating. 

we end up heartbroken, disappointed, and hurt because we expected a standard from our earthly lover that only our Heavenly Father could fulfill. 

you can’t date like the world. simply put.

allowing anyone to have the key to your heart is essentially allowing someone to sit on the throne that was originally established for your Creator.

to make a lonnnng story short: 

surrender your heart to Him. then He will begin to shape your desires. ask the LORD to give you a heart like His.

you’re not just guarding your heart, you’re protecting your soul. your life depends on it.

be a good steward and let the LORD be the guardian of your heart today.
