" Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that's where life starts."
~Proverbs 4:23 (The Message Bible)
Valentine's Day was nice. A celebration of love, oooo. Since I love sweets I always enjoy candy the most. The flowers are especially nice too. I love it! Just a big ol' world wide love fest. But on a deeper not, one thing that I don't get during the V-Day hype is how some people share a "type" of love for this day. This can be very dangerous because it will leave us empty every time. Our natural desire for love is true love. The love that will stand the test of time. Not that old flaky, fickle kind of "love". When we think about love, we think about the heart. Our hearts are vessels that need to be filled with things that will nourish not destruct. It needs the original not generic kind of love. "Guard your heart for out of it flows the issues of life." Selah
This blog won't be long for this week but I want to share how important it is for us to search out or wait for true love. Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, true love will last forever. We need it everyday of our lives. I like to say "A hug a day keeps your heart tender and gay". We should protect our heart not only from what we receive but in what we give as well. We can't give our heart to just anyone. It just may be taken for granted. We don't want that. We want our hearts to be held as if it was marked with the label "fragile" on it. Our hearts are precious gems that God has given us to feel, empathize, sympathize, care, be compassionate... So if we don't guard it how will we be equipped and ready to express or receive REAL love?
Be steadfast and protect what God has given you. God bless you all and keep TRUE LOVE alive. The best way to do so is to give it to the Lord to manage.
Let's Pray...
Dear God. Thank you for this wonderful vessel that you've given us called the heart. It allows us to feel, to have compassion, and most of all to love. We want to love the way you love. So help us to guard our heart with all diligence that no corrupt thing would infect or affect it. We thank you for wisdom. We thank you for love. Especially the greatest love of all Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In Jesus name. Amen.
