“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverb 4:23( NIV)
Today I wanted to write about guarding our hearts because I feel like we do so many things without knowing that some of the things we do can hurt our hearts. God know everything we do and he knows that as humans we make stupid mistakes. He is telling us that we should be careful because the devil will constantly try to tempt us in every directions. So instead of letting us focus on the right direction, the devil will try to bring us to the twisted path which will lead to nothing but to our own doom.
As a teenager, I feel like I spend my days unconsciously making stupid decision without realizing that those decisions hurt me at the end of the day. Not only does it hurt my heart, but it hurt my relationship with others and most importantly my relationship with God. I understand we have desires and wants. But it’s good to ask ourselves, “Is my desire in right with God?”, or “Is what I am doing the right thing?”
The world is full of enticing things. When we dwell too much on things that are bad for us, it will gradually lead us away from God and from our own true self. We need to know that we are women of God and God meant us to grow like beautiful flowers, not to wither like grass. I want every girls to know that you’re worth so much more than anything. Jesus knew that and he showed us by hanging on that rugged cross for us.
So guard your heart from that guy, guard your heart from that drug, guard your heart from that obsession, guard yout heart from that hatred, guard your heart from that anger, and guard your heart from anything that will destroy you…
I know things are easier said than done. That’s why prayer is the key. God hears all the prayers in our heart and there is no such thing as greater prayer. All prayers are important to God. God is always ready to hear what we have to say and he is happy when we pursue that relationship with him. My question is, “Will you pursue the selfish leader that try to bring you to death, or the loving father that already assure you peace through Jesus?
