The Heart

This is my first time to have a blog. When I was choosing a name for my blog page I wanted to express the importance of applying the nuggets and truths in the Bible to our lives in order to live happily in every area of our lives. Of course, that includes the issues of our heart.  I remembered the scripture in Proverbs that says that the heart is the "wellspring of life." (Prov. 4:23)


Wellspring - a source of abundant and continual supply

Heart – the center of one’s being; feelings, emotions, character, devotions
Our heart can be an indicator of our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It is the fountain of life for our mind and body. We are instructed to "guard" our hearts. Whatever you allow in your life and mind can effect your well being. It will bring life or destruction, good or evil, success or failure,  and even sickness or health. Don't let your heart become a dumping ground for anything and everything.

God wants us to guard our heart so rivers of living water will flow through us. Your heart is the fountain of life for your mind and body. Make sure you only allow Godly things to be planted in your spirit. You must be selective as to what you allow your eyes to see and your ears to hear, because it will end up in your heart. Keep the river of God flowing purely and do not polute it or you will become bitter, sick, or spiritually dry. A healthy heart is a happy heart!

Proverbs  4:23  Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Psalms 51:10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Psalms 19:14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer

  1. When you say guard are you talking about what movies you watch? I have already given up most secular music. I have found so many Christian musicians that i love, but t.v and movies is a hard one. They creep in there when your not looking. This was a good word and thank you for sharing your heart

  2. Jenny, yes, we need to sensor the movies we watch also. What we allow in our thoughts and mind will directly effect our heart. Phillipians 4:8 tells us to think and meditate on good things. Thank you for your comment!
