"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23
No matter what you're doing, where you're going or how you feel about your particular situation at this moment, you have to guard your heart!
We're so quick to attach ourselves to people and things that we forget that our heart is fragile and so incredibly powerful that it sometimes overrides reason and logic. It's so powerful that we can easily forget who we are, what we stood for and those things that make us truly complete. Our identity is replaced with temporary comfort and temptation. It is our responsibility to guard our hearts from those that definitely do not have our best interest in mind. Not everyone in this world is worthy of you, your being and especially your heart!
Trust in God and pray about your hesitations. Listen to that feeling you get - most of us know what we need to do and what we need to stop doing, yet we just keep on going. Nothing changes and we wonder why. We wonder where God is and why he 'isn't listening' when, in fact, He is setting up your unique set of situations that bring you to Him and allow you to live in peace.
Live the life you were designed to live! Make your actions purposeful and inspire others to want to know God by what YOU are doing!
"And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful." Colossians 3:15
Enjoy your weekend, my friends!
