Keep Your Heart Pure
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”
Your heart is the wellspring of your life - what you allow in will eventually flow out. Guard it with diligence. Protect it from bitterness, envy, pride, and fear. Fill it instead with God’s Word, His love, and truth. A guarded heart doesn’t mean a closed heart - it means a wisely protected one, full of what gives life.
Reflection
What have you allowed into your heart lately? Ask God to help you guard it with wisdom and grace.
